Since its initial discovery just over a decade ago, blinking of semiconductor nanocrystals has
typically been described in terms of probability distributions for durations of bright, or “on,” …

When compared to standard colloidal nanocrystals, individual CdSe-CdS core-shell
nanocrystals with thick shells exhibit strongly reduced blinking. Analyzing the photon …

Statistical studies of fluorescence intermittency in single CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots
(QD's) reveal a temperature-independent power-law distribution in the histogram of on and …

The integration of organic and inorganic materials at the nanometre scale into hybrid
optoelectronic structures enables active devices,, that combine the diversity of organic …

Abstract 'Blinking', or 'fluorescence intermittency', refers to a random switching between
'ON'(bright) and 'OFF'(dark) states of an emitter; it has been studied widely in zero …

Photoluminescence intermittency is a ubiquitous phenomenon, reducing the temporal
emission intensity stability of single colloidal quantum dots (QDs) and the emission quantum …

Semiconductor quantum dots, due to their small size, mark the transition between molecular
and solid-state regimes, and are often described as 'artificial atoms'. This analogy originates …

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) are monodisperse crystalline
clusters with physical dimensions smaller than the bulk-exciton Bohr radius, ie, the distance …

The measurement of phase in coherent electron systems—that is,'mesoscopic'systems such
as quantum dots—can yield information about fundamental transport properties that is not …

Photoluminescence microscopy studies have detected synchronous-photoluminescence-
intensity fluctuations along entire cadmium selenide quantum wires under continuous …
