This disclosure relates to quantum dots with a core of III-V material, a first layer of II-VI material and an external shell of II-VI material to be used, for example, in downconverters. The external shell is preferably made of an alloy of Zn and Cd with Se or S. The inventors have demonstrated that introducing a small amount of Cd in the external shell provides excellent absorbance performance in blue, violet and UV wavelengths. The amount of Cd needed for this increase in absorbance can be very low. The inventors have shown that the emitted light can be nearly monochromatic, which is especially interesting in electronic applications.

The present invention relates to devices for detecting radiation by the excitation of colloidal nanocrystals within a porous article and methods of using same. The aforementioned device is inexpensive and can be fabricated quickly in order to detect radiation. Due to the use of colloidal nanocrystals which have been known to have a decay constant of under 100 ps when energetic electrons produced by an incident x-ray excite the nanocrystals, this device can be used in fast radiation detection of x-rays.
