ABSTRACT
Biexciton photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (Q(2X)) of individual CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystal quantum dots with various shell thicknesses are derived from independent PL saturation and two-photon correlation measurements. We observe a near-unity Q(2X) for some nanocrystals with an ultrathick 19-monolayer shell. High Q(2X)'s are, however, not universal and vary widely among nominally identical nanocrystals indicating a significant dependence of Q(2X) upon subtle structural differences. Interestingly, our measurements indicate that high Q(2X)'s are not required to achieve complete suppression of PL intensity fluctuations in individual nanocrystals.
