Photon correlations in the collective emission of hybrid gold-(CdSe/CdS/CdZnS) nanocrystal supraparticles (2302.07538v1)
Published 15 Feb 2023 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We investigate the photon statistics of the light emitted by single self-assembled hybrid gold-CdSe/CdS/CdZnS colloidal nanocrystal supraparticles through the detailed analysis of the intensity autocorrelation function $g{(2)}(\tau)$. We first reveal that, despite the large number of nanocrystals involved in the supraparticle emission, antibunching can be observed. We then present a model based on non-coherent F\"orster energy transfer and Auger recombination that well captures photon antibunching. Finally, we demonstrate that some supraparticles exhibit a bunching effect at short time scales corresponding to coherent collective emission.
