nanocrystals (NCs) by selecting a specific thermal treatment for each sample. The growth
and characterization of these magnetic dots were investigated by atomic force microscopy
(AFM), optical absorption (OA), and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques.
The comparison of experimental and simulated EPR spectra confirms the incorporation of
Mn2+ ions both in the core and at the dot surface regions. The thermal treatment of a …
