Abstract
The influence of the locally induced laser heating on MnO nanoparticles were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and far-infrared spectroscopy (FIR) at room temperature, in the spectral region between 80 and 600 cm-1. The FIR spectra were analyzed by using Maxwell-Garnet formula, where MnO nanoparticles are modeled as a mixture of homogeneous spherical inclusions in air. Laser induced heating leads to the conversion of the part MnO nanoparticles into the MnO2, Mn3O4 and MnOOH, along with possible formation of elemental Mn on the sample surface..
