Resonant linear and nonlinear properties in terahertz range of 2D materials graphene and silicene placed into a bias magnetic field are investigated theoretically on the base of the quasi-classical kinetic theory. When the electromagnetic frequency is close to the cyclotron one, the linear conductivity increases two orders. Under the resonant frequencies nonlinearity becomes essential at low magnitudes of terahertz electric fields. In absence of a bias magnetic field the nonlinear dependences of the surface electric currents on terahertz electric field are practically the same simulated from kinetics and electron hydrodynamics with nonzero “kinetic” electron effective mass. Graphene possesses higher values of nonlinearity of the resonant conductivity, whereas in absence of a bias magnetic field, the electron nonlinearity is higher in silicene.
