We report a systematic study of photoluminescence (PL) intensity and lifetime fluctuations in individual CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) as a function of shell thickness. We show that while at low pump intensities PL blinking in thin-shell (4–7 monolayers, MLs) NQDs can be described by random switching between two states of high (ON) and low (OFF) emissivities, it changes to the regime with a continuous distribution of ON intensity levels at high pump powers. A similar behavior is observed in samples with a medium shell thickness (10–12 MLs), without however, the PL intensity ever switching to a complete “OFF” state and maintaining ca. 30% emissivity (“gray” state). Further, our data indicate that highly stable, blinking-free PL of thick-shell (15–19 MLs) NQDs (“giant” or g-NQDs) is characterized by nearly perfect Poisson statistics, corresponding to a narrow, shot-noise limited PL intensity distribution. Interestingly, in this case the PL lifetime shortens with increasing pump power and the PL decay may deviate from mono-exponential. However, the PL intensity distribution remains shot-noise limited, indicating the absence of significant quantum yield fluctuations at a given pump power intensity during the experimental time window.
