The field of nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is already more than 30 years old, and yet
continuing interest in these structures is driven by both the fascinating physics emerging …

Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy are important
elements of the ongoing technical revolution to reveal biochemical and cellular processes in …

At a single-molecule level, fluorophore emission intensity fluctuates between bright and dark
states. These fluctuations, known as blinking, limit the use of fluorophores in single-molecule …

Nitrogen-vacancy colour centres in diamond can undergo strong, spin-sensitive optical
transitions under ambient conditions, which makes them attractive for applications in …

A reducing and oxidizing system minimizes photobleaching and blinking of fluorescent dyes

Virtually all known fluorophores exhibit mysterious episodes of emission intermittency. A
remarkable feature of the phenomenon is a power-law distribution of on-and off-times …

2 1 Introduction the most salient points are just that a molecule can exist in a variety of states
depending on how its electrons are distributed among a set of molecular orbitals, and that …

In this work we discuss how to use photophysical information for improved quantitative
measurements using Photo Activated Localization Microscopy (PALM) imaging. We …

Imagine driving your car at night while its headlights display an annoying blinking behavior,
switching on and off randomly. To add to the nuisance, the blinking has no definite time …

We summarize experimental observations of fluorescence intermittency of single
semiconductor nanocrystals and single molecules. We review the main models proposed …
