15. The on-time histogram also has weak tails on top of the Gaussian distribution because of apparent on-time spectral shifts that may have occurred during an off time faster than the time resolution (100 ms) allowed by our present setup.

19. Note we make a distinction between a charged QD where the charge is delocalized in the core of the QD (a dark QD) and a charged QD where the charge refers to trapped charges localized on the surface or in the organic shell surrounding the QD (not necessarily a dark QD).
