A novel material and a transistor using a novel material are provided. A composite oxide includes at least two regions, one of which includes In, Zn and an element M1 (the element M1 is one or more of Al, Ga, Si, B, Y, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ge, Zr, Mo, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, Ta, W, Mg, V, Be, and Cu), and the other of which includes In, Zn, and an element M2 (the element M2 is one or more of Al, Ga, Si, B, Y, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ge, Zr, Mo, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, Ta, W, Mg, V, Be, and Cu). The proportion of the element M1 to In, Zn, and the element M1 in the region including the element M1 is less than that of the element M2 to In, Zn, and the element M2 in the region including the element M2. In an analysis of the composite oxide by X-ray diffraction, the diffraction pattern result in the X-ray diffraction is asymmetric with the angle at which the peak intensity of X-ray diffraction is detected as the symmetry axis.

This present disclosure provides a core-shell quantum dot, a preparation method thereof, and a light-emitting device containing the same. The core of the core-shell quantum dot is CdSe.sub.XS.sub.(1-X), and the quantum dot shells include a first shell and a second shell, the first shell being selected from one or more of ZnSe, ZnSe.sub.YS.sub.(1-Y) and Cd.sub.(Z)Zn.sub.(1-Z)S, the second shell covering the first shell being one of Cd.sub.(Z)Zn.sub.(1-Z)S and ZnS, the maximum emission peak of the core-shell quantum dot is less than or equal to 480 nm, 0<X<1, 0<Y<1, 0<Z<1. The CdSe.sub.XS.sub.(1-X) core has a smaller bandgap and a shallower HOMO energy level, making hole injection easier.
