The electronic properties of zigzag and armchair SiC nanoribbons are studied using a theoretical method. The spin-unrestricted electronic behavior of an armchair and zigzag SiC nanoribbon containing Si and C vacancy in the supercell was investigated. Spin-polarized electronic structure calculations show that armchair SiC nanoribbon was classified as a nonmagnetic semiconductor while zigzag SiC nanoribbon presents a half-metallic electronic structure. Our results suggest that SiC nanoribbon containing point vacancy may be a good candidate for spintronics due to its half-metal properties.
