Abstract

We show by first-principles calculations that, due to depressed screening and enhanced two-dimensional confinement, excitonic resonances with giant oscillator strength appear in hydrogenated Si and Ge layers, which qualitatively and quantitatively differ from those of graphane. Their large exciton binding energies and oscillator strengths make them promising for observation of novel physical effects and application in optoelectronic devices on the nanoscale.
