In quantitative structure-property and structure-activity relationships studies, several graph invariants, namely, topological
indices have been defined and studied due to their numerous applications in computer networks, biotechnology, and nano-
chemistry. Topological indices are numeric parameters that describe the biological, physical, and chemical properties depending
on the structure and topology of different chemical compounds. In this article, we inaugurated some degree-based novel indices,
namely, geometric-harmonic GHI, harmonic-geometric (HGI), neighborhood harmonic-geometric (NHGI), and neighborhood
geometric-harmonic (NGHI) indices and verified their chemical applicability. Furthermore, an attempt is made to calculate
analytical closed formulas for different variants of silicon carbides and analyze the obtained results graphically.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
To reduce the consumption of time and cost during ex-
amining the biological, physical, and chemical properties of
millions of newly invented nanomaterials, crystalline ma-
terials, and drugs, chemists study the quantitative structure-
property relationship (QSPR) and the quantitative structure-
activity relationship (QSAR) [1–4]. Topological indices
(TIs), numeric invariants describing properties of particular
molecular structures, are used as a fundamental tool in the
QSPR and QSAR. ese indices help in production of
different chemicals with desired characteristics and esti-
mation of physiochemical properties of existing compounds
[5–9]. Another dominant benefit of the TIs is their effec-
tiveness during investigation of different aspects of chemical
compounds and new drugs, which is the fundamental re-
quirement of the medical sciences and industry. Conse-
quently, studying and computing the behavior of the TIs of
the molecular structures is a significant source to provide
qualitative and quantitative information and therefore is one
of the trends in modern research. Along with drug design,
isomer discrimination, chemical documentation, and bio-
logical characterization, different applications of TIs in
mathematical chemistry are described in [10–15].
Silicon carbides, which occur as incredibly abundant
minerals in nature containing covalent bonds between
carbon and silicon atoms, are biatomic compounds with
tetrahedrally oriented layers of carbon and silicon atoms.
Because of these strongly packed layers and short-length
covalent bonds, SiC as consequences of nonoxidizing be-
havior, high melting points, high erosion resistance, thermal,
and chemical stability, silicon carbides have vital industrial
applications [16–18]. ese electrical properties and low-
cost production methodologies give superiority to silicon
carbides among other metals and semiconductors. Being one
of the most extensively used wide bandgap materials, SiC
performs a vital role in power industries by setting new
principles in power savings as rectifiers or switches in the
system for data centers, wind turbines, solar cells, and
electric vehicles along with high radiation and temperature-
