InAs based core-shell particles which leads to tunable, narrow emitting semiconductor nanocrystals with a very high quantum yield which can be preserved in physiological buffers with long stability can used for short wavelength infrared (SWIR) imaging. Increased resolution with reduced read time and increased imaging frequency can provide advantages in in vivo applications.

Short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) fluorescence in vivo and intravital imaging with semiconductor nanocrystals

A method of making a semiconductor nanocrystal can include contacting an M-containing compound with an X donor having the formula X(Y(R)), where X is a group V element and Y is a group IV element.

Highly luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals

A population of semiconductor nanocrystals can include cores including a II-V semiconductor material, e.g., CdAs. The population can be monodisperse and can have a quantum yield of 20% or greater. A size-series of populations can have emission wavelengths falling in the range of about 530 nm to about 2000 nm.
