Huge excitonic effects in layered hexagonal boron nitride
arXiv:cond-mat/0503390 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.026402
Abstract
The calculated quasiparticle band structure of bulk hexagonal boron nitride using the all-electron GW approximation shows that this compound is an indirect-band-gap semiconductor. The solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the electron-hole two-particle Green function has been used to compute its optical spectra and the results are found in excellent agreement with available experimental data. A detailed analysis is made for the excitonic structures within the band gap and found that the excitons belong to the Frenkel class and are tightly confined within the layers. The calculated exciton binding energy is much larger than that obtained by Watanabe {\it et al} using a Wannier model to interpret their experimental results and assuming that h-BN is a direct-band-gap semiconductor.
