- Abstract
We apply first-principles methods, based on the density functional theory, to investigate the optical properties of BNC hybrid monolayers containing domains. It is observed that the energy structure of such compounds exhibits bound excitons in the near-infrared region. Moreover, such compounds present an extraordinary absorptive capacity in the visible spectrum, which makes them important candidates for future solar cells applications.
