The distribution of rates of carrier multiplication (CM) following photon absorption is calculated for semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). The NC electronic structure is described using a screened pseudopotential method known to give reliable description of NC excitons. The rates of biexciton generation are calculated using the Fermi golden rule with all relevant Coulomb matrix elements, taking into account proper selection rules. In CdSe and InAs NCs we find a broad distribution biexciton generation rates depending strongly on the exciton energy and size of the NC. The process becomes inefficient for NC exceeding 3 nm in diameter in the photon energy range of 2-3 times the band gap.
