Nanostructured gas sensors and electrical characterization of deposited SnO2 nanoparticles in ambient gas atmosphere

Abstract SnO 2 nanoparticles with small particle size distribution ( σ R and parallel RC s are used for fitting. As expected for a semiconducting material, the resistance decreases with increasing temperature. Activation energies of the different charge carrier transport processes were determined from Arrhenius plots.
