The electronic and optical properties of Be2C monolayer under stress and strain are investigated. Be2C monolayer is a direct band gap semiconductor. By exerting stress, the energy band gap of the compound is reduced while the energy gap is increased when a strain is applied. The direct band gap of Be2C monolayer turns indirect when biaxial strains are applied. The optical calculations indicate the transparency of Be2C monolayer in low energy range.
