  • Tellurium-containing nanocrystalline materials
    Publication number: 20060182970
    Abstract: Tellurium-containing nanocrystallites are produced by injection of a precursor into a hot coordinating solvent, followed by controlled growth and annealing. Nanocrystallites may include CdTe, ZnTe, MgTe, HgTe, or alloys thereof. The nanocrystallites can photoluminesce with quantum efficiencies as high as 70%.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Moungi Bawendi, Frederic Mikulec, Sungjee Kim
  • Biological applications of quantum dots
    Publication number: 20050118631
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals associated to a compound, wherein the nanocrystals have a characteristic spectral emission, wherein said spectral emission is tunable to a desired wavelength by controlling the size of the nanocrystal, and wherein said emission provides information about a biological state or event.
