The authors' main claim Although the three structures have the same topological geometry, they show versatile electronic properties from semiconductor (T1), semimetal (T2) to metal (T3).The versatile properties are originated from the rich bonds between Si and C atoms.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

Three single-layer tetragonal silicon carbides (SiC), termed as T1,T2 and T3, are proposed by density functional theory (DFT) computations. Although the three structures have the same topological geometry, they show versatile electronic properties from semiconductor (T1), semimetal (T2) to metal (T3).The versatile properties are originated from the rich bonds between Si and C atoms. The nanoribbons of the three SiC also show interesting electronic properties. Especially, T1 nanoribbons possess exotic edge states, where electrons only distribute on one edge's silicon or carbon atoms. The band gaps of the T1 nanoribbons are constant because of no interaction between the edge states.
