We investigate the electron-hole interactions in spherical silicon nanocrystals by incorporating Coulomb, exchange, and spin-orbit couplings into a tight-binding model. We study the effect of the electron-hole attraction on the absorption spectra and on the dielectric constant, using a real-time propagation technique. Diagonalizing the full fine-structure Hamiltonian for two-particle states close to the band gap gives exchange splittings that range from {approximately}100 to 7 meV for nanocrystals of radii 6{endash}18 {Angstrom}. The splittings persist in the presence of spin-orbit coupling for nanocrystals of radius up to 18 {Angstrom}, suggesting that dark triplet states below the absorption threshold can be the origin of the Stokes shifts and temperature-dependent lifetimes observed in luminescence experiments. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
