摘要
In this work, the electronic and linear optical properties of pure and fully hydrogenated SiC and GeC nanosheets have been studied using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory. Our study on SiC and GeC has confirmed their potential applications in electronic devices. The dielectric tensor is derived within the random phase approximation. The dielectric function, reflectivity, energy loss function and refraction index of these nanosheets for parallel (E||X) and perpendicular (E||Z) electric field polarization directions are well described. It is observed that hydrogenated nanosheets have semiconductor behavior with anisotropic optical spectra for both E||X and E||Z polarization direction. Also, hydrogenated nanosheets provide new electronic transitions between their neighboring atoms.
