Claim Text:
1. A method of producing a luminescent semiconductor nanocrystal composition, comprising: providing a semiconductor core comprising a first semiconductor material selected from the group consisting of a II-VI semiconductor and a III-V semiconductor; depositing an overcoating shell on the core, wherein said core-overcoating shell comprises a second semiconductor material which is different from the first semiconductor material, the second semiconductor material being selected from the group consisting of MgS, MgSe, MgTe, CaS, CaSe, CaTe, SrS, SrSe, SrTe, BaS, BaSe, BaTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, HgS, HgSe, and HgTe, and wherein the core and the core-overcoating shell form a core/shell nanocrystal; and associating a polymer with the core/shell nanocrystal to produce a luminescent semiconductor nanocrystal composition.
