This study uses density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electromagnetic (EM) properties of silicon carbide (SiC). Focuses on developing a methodology bridging the gap between nanoscale and continuum modeling. Using the SIESTA program, the crystal structure of SiC is modeled.

Density functional theory is a leading approach for simulating materials. However, the basis set used in calculations can directly affect our understanding of a material. By comparing two basis sets for graphene, this highlights an important subtle point for computational materials science and how it can affect interpretation of characterization techniques and electronic transport predictions.Show More
In this work we present a simulation study of current flow in inorganic molecular metal oxide clusters known as polyoxometalates (POMs).
