35. The effects of the spill out of the electron wave-functions beyond the nanoparticle classical boundary were discussed, e.g., in V.V. Krezin, Phys. Rep. 220 (1992) 1.

38. In semiconductor quantum dots, where the discrete energy levels are well resolved, the quasiparticle scattering rate is similar to that in the bulk only for energies larger than some critical energy; see, e.g., B.I. Altshuler, Y. Gefen, A. Kamenev, L.S. Levitov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 2803.

41. In very small particles, the difference in the positions of the effective boundaries for the conduction and d-band densities leads to a shift in the linear absorption peak; see A. Liebsch, Phys. Rev. B 48 (1993) 11317; V.V. Krezin, Phys. Rev. B 51 (1995) 1844.

45. The notion of a time-dependent absorption coefficient can also be extended to the coherent regime, see I.E. Perakis, I. Brener, W.H. Knox, D.S. Chemla, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 13 (1996) 1313.
