Structural, Electronic, Magnetic, and Hyperfine Properties of V-doped SnO2 (Sn1–xVxO2, x: 0, 0.042, 0.084, and 0.125). A DFT-Based Study

“…This conclusion is in perfect agreement with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed in Sn 1– x V x O 2 ( x : 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05) nanoparticles synthesized by the combustion synthesis method that revealed the presence of vanadium as V 4+ species in the SnO 2 host lattice . A similar result was reported in ref for other V-concentrations.…”

“…SnO 2 is a material that can be easily doped with a variety of impurities, and it was shown that the properties of SnO 2 nanostructures can be handled by doping it with adequate impurities. , SnO 2 nanoparticles have been successfully doped with transition-metal ions (V, Fe, Co, Mn, and Cu). − In particular, V-doping is expected to have significant effect on optical response ,, of SnO 2 (the name “vanadium” is originated in the mythological Scandinavian god Vanadis because of its multicolored compounds), its electronic and catalytic properties, , and it can induce a ferromagnetic response at high temperature. ,,, …”
