Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) GaO has been confirmed to be a stable structure with five atomic layer thickness configuration. In this work, we study the quasi-particle electronic band structures and then access the excitonic optical properties through solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). The results reveal that the exciton dominates the optical absorption in the visible light region with the binding energy as large as eV, which is highly stable at room temperature. Importantly, both the dominant absorption P and P peaks are optically bright without dark exciton between them, and thus is favorable for luminescence process. The calculated radiative lifetime of the lowest-energy exciton is 2.0 s at 0 K. Furthermore, the radiative lifetime under % tensile strain is one order of magnitude shorter than that of the strain-free case, while it is less insensitive under the compressive strain. Our findings set the stage for future theoretical and experimental investigation on monolayer GaO.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
