Effect of oxygen partial pressure on SnO2 whisker growth

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Tin dioxide whiskers have been grown from SnO vapor in a tube furnace in a flowing mixture of argon and oxygen at a constant source temperature, and the effect of oxygen concentration in the carrier gas on the morphology, structure, and phase composition of the whiskers has been studied. The whiskers are about 100 μm in length and are well crystallized. Single-phase, single-crystal SnO2 whiskers can only be obtained in a narrow range of oxygen concentrations.
