*Microwave Heating - Electromagnetic Fields Causing Thermal and Non-Thermal Effects*

*(a) Current–voltage characteristics of Mn-doped CdSe QDs for the samples with varying dopant concentrations. (b) Poole–Frenkel fitting for all samples with respective straight trend line [17].*

In this chapter, we mainly discussed the incorporation of impurity dopant atoms into a host semiconducting quantum dots system very efficiently using microwave heating strategy with the help of a large number of examples from the literature. It has also been observed that the zinc blend crystal phase is very efficient for the

*(a, b) The Tunneling current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of a monolayer of undoped and 0.2% Mn2+-doped CdSe QDs. Doped CdSe is showing low conducting state (OFF state, black line) and high conducting state (ON state, red line) for forward and backward voltage sweep direction respectively. (c, d) The differential conductance–voltage characteristics of a monolayer of undoped and 0.2% Mn2+-doped CdSe QDs respectively in their forward (black line) and backward (red line) sweep direction. The topographic images of bare Si(111). and monolayer of undoped CdSe QDs deposited on Si(111) are shown on the insets within (c) and (d) [17].*
