Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals feature multiply-excited states that display intriguing physics and significantly impact nanocrystal-based technologies. Fluorescence supplies a natural probe to investigate these states. Still, direct observation of multiexciton fluorescence has proved elusive to existing spectroscopy techniques. Heralded Spectroscopy is a new tool based on a breakthrough single-particle, single-photon, sub-nanosecond spectrometer that utilizes temporal photon correlations to isolate multiexciton emission. This proceedings paper introduces Heralded Spectroscopy and reviews some of the novel insights it uncovered into exciton–exciton interactions within single nanocrystals. These include weak exciton–exciton interactions and their correlation with quantum confinement, biexciton spectral diffusion, multiple biexciton species and biexciton emission polarization.
