Abstract

Crystals of tin dioxide, SnO 2, have been grown pure or doped with a few percent of antimony using vapor growth methods in order to investigate the microstructures of reduced and oxidized SnO 2. They were examined by X-ray diffraction and by optical and electron microscopy. SnO 2 crystals were found to contain few faults, but the antimony-doped crystals were extensively twinned in some regions. Reduction of SnO 2 crystals to yield CS phases was unsuccessful. These results are discussed in terms of the known crystal chemistry of the oxides involved.
