摘要
Semiconductor nanocrystals ( quantum dots) have been increasingly employed in measuring the dynamic behavior of biomacromolecules using. uorescence correlation spectroscopy. This poses a challenge, because quantum dots display their own dynamic behavior in the form of intermittent photoluminescence, also known as blinking. In this review, the manifestation of blinking in correlation spectroscopy will be explored, preceded by an examination of quantum dot blinking in general.
