Dynamics of spin–lattice relaxation of the magnetic Mn‐ion system is investigated for nanostructures with (Cd,Mn)Te and (Cd,Mn)Se diluted‐magnetic‐semiconductor (DMS) quantum dots. A nonequilibrium phonon technique with optical detection of the induced heating of the magnetic ion system was exploited. A strongly nonexponential decay of the spin dynamics is found to be specific for the DMS quantum dots. It is explained in the frame of a model suggesting that the spin dynamics in quantum dots is strongly affected by a spin diffusion into/from a DMS wetting layer, where the spin–lattice relaxation rate differs from that in the quantum dots.
