AI Article Synopsis

  • CdSe/CdS core/shell dots are tiny particles that can blink and emit single particles of light called photons.
  • Making the outer layer (shell) thicker helps the dots to stop blinking almost completely.
  • You can also adjust the length of the shell to change how likely these dots are to emit one photon at a time.

Article Abstract

Blinking and single-photon emission can be tailored in CdSe/CdS core/shell colloidal dot-in-rods. By increasing the shell thickness it is possible to obtain almost non-blinking nanocrystals, while the shell length can be used to control single-photon emission probability.
