Abstract
The radiation effects in the process of preparation of SnO2 materials by a sol-gel method from Sn(OC2H5)4 and on gas sensors of SnO2 have be en investigated including relationships between gelling time and vicos ity of the products hydrolyzed and the irradiated doses from 50 to 500 kGy, sensitivity of the gas sensors to ethanol gas etc., and their el ectrical characteristics. The structural variation of the irradiated p roducts has been compared with the unirradiated structure by thermal a nalysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmiss ion electron microscopy techniques. The phenomena have also been expla ined by the construction of the oxides and semiconductor theory.
