The patent outlines an automated method and system for analyzing photo-luminescence (P- L) intermittency, or "blinking," in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). This method involves exciting single QDs, collecting image and raw blinking movies, and extracting P-L blinking trajectories from this raw data. It uses an Intensity Histogram Dependent Thresholding (IHDT) technique for grey-free two-state blinking analysis and conventional FT techniques to classify blinking characteristics. The system automates the detection and analysis processes, enabling efficient and detailed statistical analysis of QDs' blinking behaviors, which is crucial for understanding material quality and improving opto-electronic device performance.
