Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscale semiconductor crystals with surface ligands
that enable their dispersion in solvents. Quantum confinement effects facilitate wave function …

This review compiles results of experimental and theoretical studies on thin films and
quantum structures of semiconductors with randomly distributed Mn ions, which exhibit …

Introducing a few atoms of impurities or dopants in semiconductor nanocrystals can
drastically alter the existing properties or even introduce new properties. For example, mid …

We theoretically show how the spin orientation of a single magnetic adatom can be
controlled by spin polarized electrons in a scanning tunneling microscope configuration. The …

Replacing a single atom of a host semiconductor nanocrystal with a functional dopant can
introduce completely new properties potentially valuable for “solotronic” information …

Extensively studied Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals have invariably exhibited
photoluminescence over a narrow energy window of width≤<? format?> 150 meV in the …
