Light scattering behaviors of silver chloride crystals cooled from the melt and containing silver specks were observed with an Ar laser beam at 514.5nm and other wavelengths. Generally, by white light irradiation of the crystal, the scattered light intensity of the laser beam once increased and then turned to decrease with the irradiation time. The intensity changes were explained as due to growth of silver specks in the crystal accompanied by changes of electron density and quantum size effect. These let thescattered intensity go through a maximum where increasing absorption caused by shortening of the lifetime of conduction electrons in silver aggregates overcomes scattering.
