Thermal Studies on SnO₂ Nanoparticles

Abstract:

Theoretical and experimental investigations are made here on the mean square displacement (MSD) and Debye Waller Factor (DWF) of rutile structure of tin dioxide nanoparticles. SnO₂ nanoparticles are synthesized by simple co-precipitation method and structurally characterized by X-Ray diffraction which revealed tetragonal rutile structure. Rietveld analysis of XRD measurements and phonon moments are used to deduce the MSD and DWF of nano SnO₂. DWF of nano SnO₂ obtained from Rietveld analysis (0.21 Å²) is large when compared to the value reported for bulk (0.0035 Å²) which is due to the high surface to volume ratio of the nanoparticles.
