Quantum dots (QDs) are small nanometer-sized (< 10 nm) pure or composite materials with
excellent novel properties, thus making them interesting and emerging candidates for new …

Colloidal particles show interaction with electromagnetic radiation at optical frequencies. At
the same time clever colloid design and functionalization concepts allow for versatile particle …

We demonstrate the surface defect-related luminescence properties of SnO2 nanorods and
nanoparticles using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. Defect-related bands are …

Small-diameter (< 5 nm), single-crystalline SnO2 nanorods were synthesized in solution with
a mean length of 17±4 nm (mean aspect ratio of 4: 1) with the [001] direction along the major …

Nanometer-scale SnO2 particles have been synthesized by a simple sol–gel method. The
samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV–Vis …

One-dimensional nanostructures of SnO2 with a ribbonlike morphology have been prepared
in large scale via rapid oxidation of elemental tin at 1080° C. The products were …

Nanostructured SnO2 was prepared by the sol–gel method. Aniline monomer was
polymerized in the suspension of nanocrystalline SnO2 to form inorganic–organic composite …

Transparent conducting thin films of antimony-doped tin oxide have been deposited by the
sol-gel dip-coating (SGDC) method. Electrical properties are analyzed, and resistivity, Hall …

The Raman spectrum of single-crystalline rutile tin dioxide (SnO2) nanobelts synthesized by
thermal evaporation of tin powders was studied. Three Raman shifts (474, 632, 774 cm− 1) …

Nanostructured semiconductors have been of special interest to scientific community due to
their peculiar properties. The quantum size effect results in spectacular variation in the …
