27. Notice that, although slightly anisotropic, the dielectric constant of bulk bP in each direction has similar values, (Equation presented), and (Equation presented). Therefore, here we use a geometric mean for the dielectric constant of (Equation presented)-bP, (Equation presented), following Ref. [24]. As for (Equation presented)-As, dielectric constants are still missing in the literature, thus, we consider here the same value of (Equation presented) as in bP, which is expected to be at least in the same order of magnitude.

36. It should be noted that a recent work [S. Latini, T. Olsen, and K. S. Thygesen, Phys. Rev. B 92, 245123 (2015)] comparing the model of Eq. (2) with ab initio calculations suggests that, at least for isotropic 2D materials, the model of Eq. (2) gives a quantitative account of the effective electron-hole interaction in the isolated monolayer case, but produces binding energies that are too small when additional layers or a substrate is present. Nevertheless, this does not change our conclusions regarding trion binding energies, since the (presumed accurate) monolayer result yields an upper bound which is still significantly below that of Ref. [18]. PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.92.245123
