摘要: Fluorescence “blinking” kinetics of isolated colloidal InP quantum dots (QDs) are investigated via confocal single molecule microscopy. Analysis fluorescence trajectories reveals inverse power law behavior (∝ 1/τm) in on/off time probability densities with mon ≈ 2.0(2) and moff 1.5(1). Such an both times is inconsistent a static distribution electron/hole trapping sites highlights the role fluctuations QD nanoenvironment.
