Activation Analysis of Oxygen in SnO2 and Zn2SnO4 Crystals

Oxygen content of SnO2 and Zn2SnO4 crystals grown by the vapor phase method was determined by 14 MeV neutron activation analysis. The oxygen contents in the crystals were a little smaller than the theoretical values. The oxygen deficiency in the crystals was found to be related to their inherent semiconductive properties and density.
