Abstract :
Thin films of Zr1-xSnxTiO4 (ZTS) were prepared by the polymeric precursor route. The influence of process parameters and dopants (Nb, Sb and Ta) on the chemical composition of the films was investigated by means of the XPS technique. Surface segregation of SnIV and the presence of Sn0, TiII, and TiIII species in the films were revealed from XPS depth profiles.
