We summarize experimental observations of fluorescence intermittency of single
semiconductor nanocrystals and single molecules. We review the main models proposed …

Control over the interaction between single photons and individual optical emitters is an
outstanding problem in quantum science and engineering. It is of interest for ultimate control …

Semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) have been increasingly employed in measuring
the dynamic behavior of biomacromolecules using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy …

In spite of decades of comprehensive studies, the phenomenon of photoluminescence (PL)
blinking in single semiconductor colloidal quantum dots (QDs) still requires theoretical …

We report fluorescence blinking statistics measured from single CdSe nanorods (NRs) of
seven different sizes with aspect ratios ranging from 3 to 11. This study also included …

In this paper, we discuss a strategy for reducing a complex single molecule kinetic process
to a set of generic structures (motifs) that are building blocks for a general kinetic scheme. In …

In this study, we report the preparation, luminescence, and targeting properties of folic acid-
CdTe quantum dot conjugates. Water-soluble CdTe quantum dots were synthesized and …

Intermittent “on” and “off”(blinking) photoluminescence (PL) of single-CdSe/ZnS quantum
dots (QDs) is modified when placed on an Ag nanoparticle (NP) film into stochastic …

We analyze photon statistics of blinking CdSe− ZnS nanocrystals interacting with a
continuous wave laser field, showing that the process is described by a ballistic Lévy walk …

Close-packed assemblies of ligand-passivated colloidal nanocrystals can exhibit enhanced
photoluminescent stability, but the origin of this effect is unclear. Here, we use experiment …
