Effect of charging on CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods single-photon emission

The photon statistics of CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods nanocrystals is studied with a method involving postselection of the photon detection events based on the photoluminescence count rate.

Description
Summary:The photon statistics of CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods nanocrystals is studied with a method involving postselection of the photon detection events based on the photoluminescence count rate. We show that flickering between two states needs to be taken into account to interpret the single-photon emission properties. With postselection we are able to identify two emitting states: the exciton and the charged exciton (trion), characterized by different lifetimes and different second-order correlation functions. Measurements of the second-order autocorrelation function at zero delay with postselection shows a degradation of the single-photon emission for CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods in a charged state that we explain by deriving the neutral and charged biexciton quantum yields.
