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

โฆ Synopsis
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 film structure and the chemical states of Pd and Sn in the thin films change with the temperature of thermal treatment. In the 250-600 "C temperature range, palladium exists in a mixed state, (PdO and PdO,) in the film. Dopant Pd decreases the Fermi level of the SnO, semiconductor by -0.20 eV.
