Abstract
The absorption edge of CdSe and CdSSe microcrystals has been observed to undergo a significant short-wavelength shift (of more than 30 meV) during excitation by light pulses at the second harmonic from a Nd:YAG laser. An optical-nonlinearity mechanism is proposed. This mechanism involves the filling of levels in the energy spectrum of a spatially bounded multiexciton system in microcrystals with a size comparable to the exciton radius.
