Impact of crystalline defects and size on X-ray line broadening: A phenomenological approach for tetragonal SnO2 nanocrystals

Nanocrystalline tin oxide (SnO2) powders with different grain size were prepared by chemical precipitation method. The reaction was carried out by varying the period of hydrolysis and the as-prepared samples were annealed at different temperatures. The samples were characterized using X-ray powder d...
