Abstract: A quantum dot including a core comprising a first semiconductor nanocrystal including a zinc chalcogenide and a semiconductor nanocrystal shell disposed on the surface of the core and comprising zinc, selenium, and sulfur. The quantum dot does not comprise cadmium, emits blue light, and may exhibit a digital diffraction pattern obtained by a Fast Fourier Transform of a transmission electron microscopic image including a (100) facet of a zinc blende structure. In an X-ray diffraction spectrum of the quantum dot, a ratio of a defect peak area with respect to a peak area of a zinc blende crystal structure is less than about 0.8:1. A method of producing the quantum dot, and an electroluminescent device including the quantum dot are also disclosed.

Abstract: A quantum dot including a core that includes a first semiconductor nanocrystal including zinc and selenium, and optionally sulfur and/or tellurium, and a shell that includes a second semiconductor nanocrystal including zinc, and at least one of sulfur or selenium is disclosed. The quantum dot has an average particle diameter of greater than or equal to about 13 nm, an emission peak wavelength in a range of about 440 nm to about 470 nm, and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of an emission wavelength of less than about 25 nm. A method for preparing the quantum dot, a quantum dot-polymer composite including the quantum dot, and an electronic device including the quantum dot is also disclosed.

Abstract: A refrigerator and an ice-making system thereof, which may maximize space utilization inside a storage compartment. To this end, an ice-making device is horizontally wide and vertically thin, and an ice discharge port of a dispenser unit is oriented obliquely or parallel to a surface of a storage compartment door to reduce the thickness of the dispenser unit. An icemaker and an ice storage container to receive ice made by the icemaker are horizontally arranged parallel to each other within the ice-making device. A transfer channel is formed in an inner foamed portion of the storage compartment door to maximize space utilization inside the storage compartment and door shelves.
