Spin-based electronics use the spins of electrons in addition to their charges and have potential applications to create a next generation of quantum computers, capable of storing vast amounts of data in an energy-efficient way. Diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dots (DMS-QDs) have shown great promise as ideal materials for application in spin-based electronics. However, doping impurities into quantum confined colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) has been a great challenge due to the lack of control over the dopant reactivity during the specific stages of nucleation and growth. The mechanism of dopant incorporation into nanocrystals is complex and well-defined and atomically precise molecular …
