29. Although the other possibility of the emergence of a MIX state is maybe due to a varying recombination rate [B. R. Fisher, H.-J. Eisler, N. E. Stott, and M. G. Bawendi, J. Phys. Chem. B JPCBFK 1520-6106 10.1021/jp035756+ 108, 143 (2004)], here, it is not clear which is the dominant mechanism.

32. The same analysis as in Figs. 2 and 3(c) was performed for three different single QDs, and their tendencies were almost the same. The ratio of the PL intensity between the ON and INT states shown in Fig. 2(a) was between 0.35 and 0.45. The energy shifts of the INT state compared to the ON state shown in Fig. 3(c) were between 10 and 13 meV.
