Summary:The optical, electrical and structural properties of SnOare responsible for a large number of technological 2 applications such as gas sensors, optical-electonic devices, varistors and displays. In this paper, we report the preparation of SnO thin films deposited on glass, quartz and silicon substrates by the technique of sol-gel dip-2coating. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry and Mössbauer spectroscopy. We combine the experimental results with ab initio all-electrons calculations, using the density functional theory within the framework of the full-potential linear augmented plane waves method, in order to extract hyperfine parameters. The results show that the synthesis method is able to produce good quality films and that the theory can be helpful to determine quantities difficult to be measured experimentally.
