Xc. Wu et al., STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF NANOMETER-SIZEDSNO2 CAPPED BY STEARIC-ACID, Nanostructured materials, 8(2), 1997, pp. 179-189
Structure and optical properties of nanometer-sized SnO2 capped by a l
ayer of stearic acid are investigated using TEM, XRD, ESR, UV-visible
absorption spectrum, photoluminescence spectra, IR absorption spectra
and Z-scan techniques. It is found that such capped SnO2 samples displ
ay new optical properties, which will enlarge their applications in no
nlinear optics. The relationship between structure and optical propert
ies of the SnO2 nanoparticles is also discussed.
