The excitation density dependence of photoluminescence (PL) blinking of single CdSe/ZnS quantum dots was studied by means of single-dot PL spectroscopy. As the excitation density increases, an intermediate state appears in addition to the highly emissive (ON) and nonemissive (OFF) states. The systematic study of the excitation density dependence of PL blinking behavior (PL intensity, probabilities of finding these states, time probability distributions, and PL spectra and lifetimes) suggests that the intermediate state can be attributed to a charged exciton (trion) state generated through biexciton generation and charging (ionization) of a quantum dot under a high-density excitation regime. Our results indicate that the biexciton generation is a precursor of the trion state and not of the OFF state.
