Abstract
We report room-temperature ordered multiphoton emission from multiexciton states of single CdSe(CdZnS) core(-shell) colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) that are synthesized by wet chemical methods. Spectrally and temporally resolved measurements of biexciton and triexciton emission from single NCs are also presented. A simple four level system models the results accurately and provides estimates for biexciton and triexciton radiative lifetimes and quantum yields.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
