Abstract

Luminescence decay curves have been measured for InP@ZnS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) synthesized at different ratios between 1-octanethiol and 1-dodecanethiol. The luminescence lifetime distributions reflecting the ratios between the on, off, and grey states of CQDs have been calculated. With an increase in the portion of 1-octanethiol, the distribution is shifted toward the on states, which almost completely suppresses fluorescence blinking at all detection wavelengths.
