Plasmon Enhancement Reveals Origin of the Dark States of Photoluminescence Intermittency in Quantum Dots. [PDF]
NanophotonicsABSTRACT Dark states of photoluminescence (PL) intermittency in colloidal quantum dots (QDs) interrupt PL emission and significantly reduce emission intensity, severely hindering QD applications. However, the origin of dark states remains ambiguous due to their extremely low intensity, which impedes the development of effective suppression strategies ...
