Abstract
This work studied the effects of gamma radiation on the structural and optical properties of SnO2 thin films in a dose-dependent manner. The microstructural change was confirmed by peak shifting, peak broadening, and changes in grain size with an increase in radiation dose, as observed from X-ray diffraction analysis. Changes in the intensity of photoluminescence spectra and optical properties are due to radiation-induced defect states. The obtained results indicate that gamma irradiation can be used to tailor the characteristics of SnO2 for various applications. In contrast to previous works, this study quantitatively connects radiation dose to structural and optical transformations, thereby addressing the fundamental mechanisms of defect formation.
