Photoluminescence intermittency

Issac, A., Borczyskowski, C. V. and Cichos, F. (2005) Correlation between photoluminescence intermittency of CdSe quantum dots and self-trapped states in dielectric media. Phys. Rev. B, 71, 161302 (R)-l-161302(R)-4. 

Figure 1. Example for single molecule behavior Intensity transient of a single molecule of the conjugated polymer MEH-PPV (Poly[2-methoxy,5-(2 -ethyl-hexyloxy)-jC>-phenylene-vinylene]) (see insert for structure). The transient exhibits intermittent photoluminescence from several discrete intensity levels until the molecule imdergoes final photobleaching after approximately 215 s.
