Description

The hyperfine interactions in indium-tin-oxide were studied by 119Sn Moessbauer spectroscopy. Polycrystalline samples with tin contents from 0.5 to 10 at% Sn on the cation sublattice were measured and compared to the results of 111In and 111mCd Perturbed Angular Correlation measurements. The Moessbauer data demonstrate that Sn ions are in a 4+ state. The values of the quadrupole splitting, isomer shift and area ratios undergo changes when increasing the Sn content. The tin cations show a strong preference for the B site versus the D site. The occupancy of Sn on each of the two non-equivalent cation sites also harmonizes with neutron diffraction data.
