Abstract :
In this work we propose rod-shaped core/shell CdSe/CdS colloidal nanocrystals as efficient non-classical light sources. These nanoemitters show peculiar features such as pronounced photoluminescence stability and high single-photon emission efficiency at room-temperature, making us envision their possible employment as single-photon sources for quantum communications protocols.
