A simple, cost-effective, two-step method was proposed for preparing single-phase SnO
polycrystalline thin films on quartz. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated that the …

A simple hydrothermal process is proposed for synthesizing SnO 2 quantum dots (QDs), in
which hydrazine hydrate is used as the mineralizer instead of NaOH. X-ray diffraction, high …

Phase pure rutile Sn O 2 nanoparticles and nanorods were prepared by solvothermal
technique. The diameters of the nanoparticles were in the range of 5–10 nm while the length …

Sm3+ ion doped tetragonal SnO2 nanoparticles have been synthesized by the polyol
method and its concentration and annealing effects on photoluminescence properties are …

Co-doped SnO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, and
characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) …

Background:: An increasing amount of populations all over the world are reported to have no
