Abstract:
In this article, We report our measured results of UV-Vis absorption, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope for Sn-doped C60 thin film. The results show the two absorption peaks in respective short wave range of UV absorption have an apparent decline after doping Sn, and the position of three absorption peaks have a slightly shift respectively to red wave direction. The electron absorption transition of Sn-C60 film is indirect transition, and there are impurity levels in the energy band; X-ray diffraction shows that the crystal structure of Sn-C60 film is f. c. c. The film is in the form of tiny drops in nano magnitude.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
