AbstractThree models of single colloidal quantum dot emission fluctuations (blinking) based on spectral diffusion were considered analytically and numerically. It was shown that the only one of them, namely the Frantsuzov and Marcus model reproduces the key properties of the phenomenon. The other two models, the Diffusion-Controlled Electron Transfer (DCET) model and the Extended DCET model predict that after an initial blinking period, most of the QDs should become permanently bright or permanently dark which is significantly different from the experimentally observed behavior.

We discuss optical activity in metal nanoclusters and semiconductor quantum dots, broadly focusing on recent advances in nanoscale chirality in plasmonic nanoparticles and their assemblies.

AbstractLuminescent quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as a new class of biological labels with unique properties and applications that are not available from traditional organic dyes and fluorescent proteins. Here we report new developments in using semiconductor quantum dots for quantitative imaging and spectroscopy of single cancer cells. We show that both live and fixed cells can be labeled with multicolor QDs, and that single cells can be analyzed by fluorescence imaging and wavelength-resolved spectroscopy. These results raise new possibilities in cancer imaging, molecular profiling, and disease staging.
