One of the outstanding but inherent features of single quantum objects (molecules, quantum dots - QD) is the observation of luminescence intermittency. In recent experiments we have shown [1] [2] [3] that besides intramolecular properties (triplet states), photo-ejected charges cause intermittency dynamics on times scales over several orders of magnitude ranging from ms to h. These dynamics are related to QD photoluminescence intensities both of single particles and ensembles and are among others controlled by dielectric properties of the QD/dye arrays and/or the environment. This offers the possibility to investigate on a nanometer scale dielectric properties of functionalized organic molecules [4] self-assembled on semiconductor surfaces. Possible applications such as nanoscopic sensors will be discussed.
