Title: Hot excitons are responsible for increasing photoluminescence blinking activity in single lead sulfide/cadmium sulfide nanocrystals

Abstract

The kinetics of PL blinking for isolated PbS/CdS nanocrystals changes with the photon excitation energy, with PL blinking increasing in frequency and changing from a two-state to a multistate on/off switching when the excitation energy changes from 1Sh–1Se(≈1.4 eV) to 1Ph–1Pe(≈2.4 eV).
