Abstract

In this work, we report on the study of SnO 2 nanoparticles prepared by a polymer precursor method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data analysis evidenced the formation of only the tetragonal rutile-type phase for the as-grown and thermally annealed samples. A mean grain size of about 11 nm for the as-prepared sample has been determined. This mean size increases after the thermal annealing and with the annealing temperature. The room temperature Mössbauer spectra (MS) were well fitted using a quadrupole splitting (QS) distribution. The isomer shift (IS) tends to increase when the grain size decreases. That increase has been associated to the extra s-electron density generated by the oxygen vacancies.
