The use of nanocrystals with emission in the visible or near infrared and their applications for photonics and optoelectronics

A general synthetic strategy for the synthesis of nanocrystals of both visible and near infrared emitting materials is introduced. Further, the potential for these materials to be employed in a wide variety of applications is discussed.
