Nanocrystals of ZnO:Mn were obtained by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and had dimensions of d ~ 36 nm. The changes of photoluminescence end EPR spectra of these nanocrystals in dependence of Mn admixture concentration ( 2–8 at. %) and also at heat treatment in air during 1 hour at T = 850 ̊C were investigated. It is shown that under short-term (7–10 s) nonequilibrium conditions of ZnO:Mn nanocrystals forming, they consist of a nuclens and shell surface, in which, predominantly, the Mn admixture is concentrated. After annealing, the Mn admixture diffuses into the nucleus of a nanocrystal.
