Influence of the Inner-Shell Architecture on Quantum Yield and Blinking Dynamics in Core/Multishell Quantum Dots
2016
ChemPhysChem

All-optical fluorescence blinking control in quantum dots with ultrafast mid-infrared pulses

pre-print
Despite efforts for blinking reduction via chemical engineering of the QD architecture and its environment, blinking still poses barriers to the application of QDs, particularly in single-particle tracking ...

Pump-Intensity- and Shell-Thickness-Dependent Evolution of Photoluminescence Blinking in Individual Core/Shell CdSe/CdS Nanocrystals
2011
Nano letters (Print)
We show that while at low pump intensities PL blinking in thin-shell (4À7 monolayers, MLs) NQDs can be described by random switching between two states of high (ON) and low (OFF) emissivities, it changes ...
Further, our data indicate that highly stable, blinking-free PL of thick-shell (15À19 MLs) NQDs ("giant" or g-NQDs) is characterized by nearly perfect Poisson statistics, corresponding to a narrow, shot-noise ...
In the case of the thickest shells (15À19 MLs), blinking-free PL with a narrow distribution of intensities is observed for all pump fluencies. ...
