The opto-electronic properties of hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) are investigated from first principles, considering the five possible stacking arrangements obtained by translation of the two layers in the unit cell. We find the most stable structure in agreement with experiment [1] and with an earlier first-principles study [2]. All structures exhibit a quasi-particle gap, with values between 4.5 and 6 eV as calculated from the G0W0 approach. From the solution of the two-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation an intense excitonic peak is found in the UV region for any stacking arrangement. Depending on the order of the h-BN layers, the lowest-energy excitation can be either bright or dark. We characterize the main optical excitations for all stacking arrangements and discuss them in the context of symmetry-induced selection rules. All calculations are performed using the exciting code [3], a full-potential all-electron package implementing the families of linearized augmented planewave methods.
