12. The core NRs were synthesized using a multiple injection method and subsequently capped with an intermediate ZnSe shell and an outer ZnS shell. The experimental details are provided in the Supporting Information. The fluorescence quantum yield, estimated with respect to Rhodamine 6G, increased from 0.3% (core) to a maximum of 10% (core/shell).

18. 16 As an example, rotating the laser polarization by 90° in the case of the two NRs, shown in Figure 4b, decreased their maximum emission intensity to ∼10% of the initial integrated intensity as θ increased from ∼15° to ∼75°, which is in good agreement with the expected angle dependence. Details for this and a few other examples are given in the Supporting Information.
