摘要: Bulk and thin films ZnO TiO2 samples were doped with Sn by pulsed ion implantation studied means of X-ray photoelectron core-level valence band spectroscopy as well density functional theory calculations for comprehensive study the incorporation Sn. XPS spectral analysis showed that isovalent cation substitution occurs in both zinc oxide (Sn2+ -> Zn2+) titanium dioxide (Sn4+ Ti4+) bulk film morphologies. For films, also led to occupation interstitials ions, which induced clustering substituted embedded atoms; this did not occur ZnO:Sn samples. Density (DFT) formation energies calculated various processes, explaining prevalence substitutional defects matrices. Possible mechanisms reasons observed trends into matrices are discussed.
