The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of nitrogen implanted SnO2 thin films have been study. An isotropic g (gyromagnetic ratio) tensor is observed and calculated for all Samples (viz. as deposited and for different concentration of nitrogen in SnO2). The different g values are attributed to the different concentration of paramagnetic species. With the increase in doping of nitrogen from 2% to 6%, the substitution of oxygen vacancies and interstitial atom in electronic structure is alsoobserved. This is confirmed by absorption spectrum recorded by UV Visible.

Abstract


The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of nitrogen implanted SnO2 thin films have been study. An isotropic g (gyromagnetic ratio) tensor is observed and calculated for all Samples (viz. as deposited and for different concentration of nitrogen in SnO2). The different g values are attributed to the different concentration of paramagnetic species. With the increase in doping of nitrogen from 2% to 6%, the substitution of oxygen vacancies and interstitial atom in electronic structure is alsoobserved. This is confirmed by absorption spectrum recorded by UV Visible.
