Two-dimensional graphene-like silicon carbide (2d-SiC) has emerged as an intriguing new class of layered nanostructure. Using density functional theory, key electronic and optical properties of 2d-SiC nanosheets, in particular, of mono- and bilayer 2d-SiC, are investigated. The properties of these n...
