Abstract

Extensive research has been conducted to explore the potential applications of oxide materials doped with non–magnetic elements for spintronic devices. Our current investigation focuses on the synthesis of Sn_1-xSb_xO₂ (where x ranges from 0 to 0.10 with a step size of 0.02) polycrystalline samples via the traditional solid–state reaction method, along with an analysis of their current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, high–temperature resistivity, and room temperature magnetic hysteresis (B–H) curves. By employing an electrometer, the I–V characteristics were recorded and it indicate that the incorporation of Sb doping enhances the conductivity of SnO₂, resulting in a lower voltage for leakage current saturation. The high temperature electrical resistivity measurements of these compounds revealed that an increase of Sb doping concentrations led to the reduction of the resistivity. The B–H loop study displays ferromagnetic behaviour along-with coercivity value increasing from 540 Oe to 620 Oe upon increasing Sb doping concentrations.

期刊介绍： Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged. A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions. The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
