TiO2SnO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrates, by using sol gel spin coating method with different ratio (3%, 5% and 7%) at 3200 rpm, to study their effect on different properties of TiO2 SnO2 thin films. The structural and optical properties of films have studied for different ratio. These deposited films have been characterized by various methods such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultra Visible spectroscopy. The (XRD) can be used to identify crystal structure of as deposited films. The Transmission spectra have shown the transparent and opaque parts in the visible and UV wavelengths. ©2016 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
