Excited-state relaxations in molecules are responsible for a redshift of the absorption peak with respect to the emission peak (Franck-Condon shift). The magnitude of this shift in semiconductor quantum dots is still unknown. Here we report first-principle calculations of excited-state relaxations in small (diameter less than or equal to2.2 nm) Si nanocrystals, showing that the Franck-Condon shift is surprisingly large (similar to60 meV for a 2.2-nm-diameter nanocrystal). The physical mechanism responsible for the Stokes shift changes abruptly around similar to1 nanometer in size, providing a clear demarcation between molecules and nanocrystals.
