Abstract

Excited states of nanosize two-component semiconductor core–shell crystals with a type II heterojunction are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the dipole plasmon resonance dominates in their photoabsorption spectra. It is found that the variation of the potential barrier height between the core and the shell in a comparatively narrow range leads to a fundamental change in the form of the collective mode from the surface plasmon resonance typical of the photoabsorption spectra of conducting nanosize particles to the rotational plasmon mode, for which only angular degrees of freedom are excited.
