Study of structural and optical properties of SnO2:F nanocrystalline films
Main Article Content
Abstract
Structural and optical investigation of tin oxide films properties was studied. The films were prepared from SnCl4 . 5H2O and NH4F using spray pyrolysis technique. Influence of the substrate temperature and fluorine concentration on resistances, mobility, carrier concentration and transmittance is discussed. High performance criterion of spray pyrolysis was received by optimization of regimes
