Fluorescence blinking in nanocrystal quantum dots is known to exhibit power-law dynamics,
and several different mechanisms have been proposed to explain this behavior. We have …

Photon emission from quantum dots (QDs) and other quantum emitters is characterized by
abrupt jumps between an “on” and an “off” state. In contrast to ions and atoms however, the …

Fluctuations in the fluorescence from macroscopic ensembles of colloidal semiconductor
quantum dots have the spectral form of 1/f noise. The measured power spectral density …

Fluorescence “blinking” kinetics of isolated colloidal InP quantum dots (QDs) are
investigated via confocal single molecule microscopy. Analysis of fluorescence trajectories …

Single photon detection methods are used to acquire fluorescence trajectories from single
CdSe/ZnS colloidal quantum dots (QDs) and analyze their blinking behavior. Although the …

No accepted description of luminescent blinking in quantum dots is currently available. Now,
experiments probing the connection between charge and fluorescence intensity fluctuations …

The light-induced spectral diffusion and fluorescence intermittency (blinking) of
semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots are investigated theoretically using a diffusion …

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are known to exhibit both power-law blinking dynamics and a
dark fraction. A complete description of the mechanistic origins of these properties is still …

Fluorescence blinking of single quantum dots (QDs) under constant illumination has
attracted a great deal of attention from both experimentalists and theoreticians. To explain …

We demonstrate that subsequent on-and off-times of the luminescence blinking of
semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are correlated, indicating that the process behind is not …
