Silicon carbide(SiC) is a wideband gap semiconductor with great application prospects,and the SiC nanomaterials have attracted more and more attention because of their unique photoelectric properties.According to the first-principles calculations,we investigate the effects of diameter on the electronic and optical properties of triangular SiC NWs(T-NWs)and hexagonal SiC NWs(H-NWs).The results show that the structure of H-NWs is more stable than T-NWs,and the conduction band bottom of H-NWs is more and more deviated from the valence band top,while the conduction band bottom of T-NWs is closer to the valence band top.What is more,H-NWs and T-NWs have anisotropic optical properties.The result may be helpful in developing the photoelectric materials.
