Single-Molecule Characterization of Near-Infrared-Emitting Silver Nanoclusters

In this paper, single molecule spectroscopy is used to probe the photophysical heterogeneity of near-infrared emitting silver nanoclusters stabilized in single stranded DNA containing 24 cytosines (C24-AgNCs). Focusing on this subset of emitters allows us to address and correlate their photophysical parameters. The results suggest that for these near-infrared emitting C24-AgNCs, the broad rang…
