1. A method of manufacturing a population of nanocrystals, comprising:
- heating a mixture of an M-source and an X donor in a fluid in a reaction zone to a growth temperature for a preselected amount of time; and
cooling the mixture below the growth temperature to stop growth of the nanocrystals.

2. A method of manufacturing a population of nanocrystals, comprising:
-
combining an M-source and an X donor in a fluid in a mixing region to form a mixture; transporting the mixture through a reaction zone, the mixture being heated in the reaction zone to a temperature for a time sufficient to grow a nanocrystal; and transporting the mixture from the reaction zone to a growth stopping zone to form the population of nanocrystals. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
