intensity of the PL when it is on also varies. Typical results are shown in Fig. 13for 30 A˚ InP QDs. The PL blinking kinetics was shown [64] to follow aninverse power law:PðsÞ /1 mð1Þswhere P is the probability density of on or off times, H is the PL-on or PL-offtime period, and m c 1.5 for the off periods and c2.0 for the on periods [64].<strong>All</strong> experimental studies [58–61,63–67] and models [58,68–70] of PLblinking in QDs invoke photoionization, where<strong>by</strong> an electron is ejected fromthe QD, leaving it charged and nonemissive; the return of the electron back tothe QD to neutralize it turns the PL back on. Although photoionization isFigure 13 Photoluminescence intermittency (blinking) at 298 K in five single InPQDs (mean diameter 30 A˚ ).
