1 Introduction Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (CSNCs) are promising candidates as gain materials for optoelectronic applications[1-3] owing to their, low cost of fabrication and versatility in tailoring the composition and geometry to further enhance their performance or to enable them to be compatible in a wide variety of matrices.[4-12] As an outcome, an exceptional amount of effort has been put to utilize CSNCs as a gain medium in the past few decades, which has led to great levels...
