Abstract
Nanocrystals having a ZnTe core and methods for making and using them to construct core-shell nanocrystals are described. These core-shell nanocrystals are highly stable and provide quantum yields and stability suitable for applications such as flow cytometry, cellular imaging, and protein blotting, medical imaging, and other applications where cadmium toxicity is an issue.
