Abstract
A high confinement semiconductor nanocrystal and method for making such nanocrystal are described. The nanocrystal includes a compact homogenous semiconductor region having a first composition in the center area of the nanocrystal, with its diameter being less than 2.0 nm; and a gradient alloy region comprised of a second varying alloy composition which extends from the surface of the compact homogenous semiconductor region to the surface of the nanocrystal.
