semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that arenot present in their bulk counterparts. in this work, extremely fine and pure sno2 nanoparticles of ~1.1nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of sno2 was crystallizedby microwave heating. the particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. by xrd analysis...
