Exciton band structure in two-dimensional materials
Résumé
Low-dimensional materials differ from their bulk counterpart in many respects. In particular, the
screening of the Coulomb interaction is strongly reduced, which can have important consequences
such as the significant increase of exciton binding energies. In bulk materials the binding energy
is used as an indicator in optical spectra to distinguish different kinds of excitons, but this is not
possible in low-dimensional materials, where the binding energy is large and comparable in size for
excitons of very different localization. Here we demonstrate that the exciton band structure, which
can be accessed experimentally, instead provides a powerful way to identify the exciton character.
By comparing the ab initio solution of the many-body Bethe-Salpeter equation for graphane and
single-layer hexagonal BN, we draw a general picture of the exciton dispersion in two-dimensional
materials, highlighting the different role played by the exchange electron-hole interaction and by the
electronic band structure. Our interpretation is substantiated by a prediction for phosphorene.
