We present measured light outputs from a series of oleic acid and alkyl functionalized CdSeS/ZnS quantum dots in toluene and water-based suspensions. The colloidal nanocrystal samples were studied under UV and X-ray excitation, and in the presence of radioactive isotopes. Low-concentration (1 mg/ml) samples as small as 1 ml exhibited a measurable response to radiation exposure.
