Abstract
The invention pertains to the field of nanotechnology. The invention provides highly luminescent nanostructures, particularly highly luminescent nanostructures comprising a ZnSe1-xTex core and ZnS and/or ZnSe shell layers. The nanostructures comprising a ZnSe1-xTex core and ZnS and/or ZnSe shell layers display a low full width at half-maximum and a high quantum yield. The invention also provides methods of producing the nanostructures.
