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 …

The majority of quantum dot (QD) blinking studies have used a model of switching between
two distinct fluorescence intensity levels,“on” and “off”. However, a distinct intermediate …

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

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 …

The photoluminescence of semiconductor quantum dots and fluorescence of single
molecules intermittently turn ON and OFF, a phenomenon referred to as blinking. In quantum …

We provide a novel approach to measure the photoinduced dark fraction due to blinking in
semiconductor quantum dots in dilute aqueous solution using fluorescence correlation …

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 …

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

The present work investigates single CdSe QD blinking behaviour in the absence of
illumination, in order to elucidate the role of photoexcitation on the long time dynamics. The …

Fluorescence decay times measured during the off-state of single CdSe/ZnS quantum dot
blinking are found to decrease with increasing off-state duration, contradicting the charging …
