“…La-doped BaSnO 3 single crystals and epitaxial films are shown to have an outstanding electron mobility of 320 and 150 cm 2 V –1 s –1 , respectively. , SrSnO 3 possesses a wider band gap ( E g ∼ 4.6 eV) and smaller effective mass ( m e ∼ 0.23 m 0 ) than BaSnO 3 ( E g ∼ 3.1 eV, m e ∼ 0.42 m 0 ). , In bulk powders, an orthorhombic phase ( Pnma ) is known to be the stable phase at room temperature with lattice constants of a ortho = 5.703 Å, b ortho = 5.709 Å, and c ortho = 8.065 Å (its pseudocubic lattice constant a pc = 4.034 Å) . Trivalent ions such as La 3+ , Ta 3+ , Nd 3+ , and Sm 3+ were used as effective n-type dopants − by substituting for the Sr site without affecting the band structure . Additionally, pentavalent ions such as Nb 5+ , Sb 5+ , and Pb 5+ in place of Sn were studied as n-type dopants. − It is worth noting that the La dopant creates shallow donor levels in SrSnO 3 , which indicates that extra electrons in La ions are easily activated .…”
