Single particle versus ensemble average: from power-law intermittency of a single quantum dot to quasistretched exponential fluorescence decay of an ensemble.
Light-induced diffusion-controlled electron transfer is proposed as an underlying mechanism for the intermittency (power law and breakdown) of a single quantum dot and ensemble-averaged fluorescence decay. The intensity decay can be approximated to a stretched exponential expression. The physical links to the free energy gap, reorganization energy, electronic coupling, and diffusion correlation...
متن کاملDiffusion-controlled electron transfer processes and power-law statistics of fluorescence intermittency of nanoparticles.
A mechanism involving diffusion-controlled electron transfer processes in Debye and non-Debye dielectric media is proposed to elucidate the power-law distribution for the lifetime of a blinking quantum dot. This model leads to two complementary regimes of power law with a sum of the exponents equal to 2, and to a specific value for the exponent in terms of a distribution of the diffusion correl...
متن کاملExponential and Power-Law Hierarchies from Supergravity
We examine how a d-dimensional mass hierarchy can be generated from a d+1-dimensional set up. We consider a d+1–dimensional scalar, the hierarchon, which has a potential as in gauged supergravities. We find that when it is in its minimum, there exist solutions of Hořava-Witten topology R × S/Z with domain walls at the fixed points and anti-de Sitter geometry in the bulk. We show that while stan...
متن کاملSnapShot: Single-Molecule Fluorescence
Common uorescent agents include organic uorophores (e.g., Cy5), uorescent proteins (e.g., GFP), and semiconductor quantum dots each with different size, photobleaching, blinking, and labeling ef ciency properties. Wideeld detection with EMCCD camera enables parallel measurements. The temporal resolution is >ms, and the working concentration is limited to nM or less. Confocal detection from an e...
متن کاملDiscrete power law with exponential cutoff and Lotka's Law
The first bibliometric law appeared in Alfred J. Lotka’s 1926 examination of author productivity in chemistry and physics. The result is that the productivity distribution is thought to be described by a power law. In this paper, Lotka’s original data on author productivity in chemistry is reconsidered by comparing the fit of the data to both a discrete power law and a discrete power law with e...
