Abstract
The Sn1−xSbxO2 system has been studied by means of 119Sn and 121Sb Mössbauer spectroscopy. The presence of an unresolved quadrupole splitting in SnO2 is confirmed. The data show that the oxidation states of the tin and antimony are IV and V, respectively. The conduction electrons resulting from Sb substitution are distributed over the entire lattice. As the Sb content increases, the 119Sn isomer shift and s electron density at the Sn nucleus also increase, as expected for a conduction band composed largely of Sn 5s orbitals.Keywords
