100084, P. R. China In this paper, the structures of Pd-doped SnO, thin films prepared by a Sol-Gel technique are characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning Auger microscopy, x-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis plus thermogravimetric analysis. It is observed that fil

β¦ Synopsis
This tutorial survey describes the application of selected photon-and electron-excited characterisation techniques for the analysis of thin films. The fundamentals of some techniques are discussed but the focus of this article is the link between the different techniques rather than a comprehensive discussion of them. Laboratory-based and synchrotron radiation techniques are compared for the characterization of longand short-range structural order, as well as for chemical and electronic structural analysis. The practical application of the analytical procedures discussed is summarized in two case studies.
