Fluorescence intermittency originates from reclustering in two-dimensional organic semiconductors

Fluorescence blinking has been recently observed in two-dimensional graphene oxide systems, yet its origin has so far remained elusive. Here, the authors unveil the nature of such long timescale emission intermittency and link it to the distribution ofsp2 carbon domains.
