Abstract: Provided are a quantum dot, a method of preparing the quantum dot, an optical member including the quantum dot, and an electronic device including the quantum dot. The quantum dot includes a core including indium (In), A1, and A2; and a shell covering the core. A1 is a Group V element, A2 is a Group III element other than indium, and the core includes a first region, and a second region covering the first region. The first region does not include A2, and includes indium and A1, and the second region includes indium, A1, and A2, and indium and A2 are alloyed with each other in the second region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fluorescent, radio-opaque and magnetic quantum nanoparticles, useful as multifunctional contrast agents or probes for in vivo bioimaging, and methods of their use. The invention provides for multifaceted bioimaging (e.g., intra-arterial pre-operative brain mapping and broad based in vivo diagnostic imaging), including imaging of various cell types, such as stem cells.

Abstract: A partially passivating core shell particle includes a luminescent nanocrystal core, and a partially passivating semiconducting core shell on a surface of the nanocrystal. The shell allows selected analytes to alter a luminescent response of the core shell particle. A quantum dot-based sensing system includes at least one partially passivating core shell particle, a light source for irradiating the partially passivating core shell particle, and a light detector for receiving emissions from the particle, wherein emissions from the core shell particle change in response to the presence of at least one analyte.
