Study of the oxygen vacancies changes in SnO2 polycrystalline thick films using impedance and photoemission spectroscopies
Changes in the concentration of oxygen vacancies within the grains of polycrystalline SnO2, due to different atmosphere exposures, were detected using impedance and photoemission spectroscopies. From measured capacitance values, variations of the potential barrier widths could be determined. It is s...
