The electronic structure of Si1-xCx has been calculated, in the region
x > 0.5 in terms of x, the ratio of sp(2) sites a and the short-range
order parameters. By comparing E(g)(x) to the experimental gaps we de
duce that in the low hydrogenation limit the material is close to chem
ical order and that for high a, E(g) (x) displays a hump, whereas at t
ow a it is monotonic.
