Popis: We present a theoretical study of the exciton binding energy for anisotropic two-dimensional crystals. We obtain analytical expressions from variational wave functions in different limits of the screening length to exciton size ratio and compare them with numerical solutions, both variational and exact. As an example, we apply these results to phosphorene, a monolayer of black phosphorous. Aided by density-functional-theory calculations for the evaluation of the two-dimensional polarizability, our analytical solution for the exciton binding energy gives a result which compares well with numerical ones and, in turn, with experimental values, as recently reported
