Abstract

Structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of Zn and Zn–Ni co-doped tin oxide (SnO₂) nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel method. The influence of doping concentration on phase and particle size of the nanoparticles was determined by X-ray diffraction. The XRD study reveals that the lattice constant and crystallite size of the samples decrease with the increase of doping concentration. The change in the band gap energy of SnO₂ nanoparticles influenced more by doping with Zn and Ni. The external morphology and particle size were recorded by SEM and TEM. The results indicated that Ni²⁺ ions would uniformly substituted into the Zn²⁺ sites of SnO₂ lattice. The substitution of Ni creates a vital change in magnetic properties that has been measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).
