The influence of aluminium or niobium doping on the thermoluminescence (TL) of polycrystalline tetravalent tin dioxide is studied. The non-stoichiometry of SnO2−x is characterised by the presence of oxygen vacancies. These vacancies, once or twice ionised behave as donor centres. Introduction of trivalent or pentavalent impurities in the matrix...

Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves of polycrystalline tin dioxide samples exhibit three main peaks below room temperature. Their relative intensities depend on experimental conditions. Especially, they are modified by aluminum doping or by wet air exposition. In SnO2, we suggest that ionised oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups are responsible...
