Abstract

The structures proprieties were investigated through X-ray diffraction. The tin oxide has a constant tetragonal structure with mixing MgO, while, the grain size decreases from (35.42 nm) to (14.11 nm); FE-SEM reveals the shape and dimensions of the sample. Hall Effect measurement identifies the n-type electrical conductivity for the MgO, SnO2, and MgO: SnO2 films, the mobility of carriers decreases when the mixing ratio increase. The sensor structures for MgO, SnO2, and MgO: SnO2 have a high resistance in air to NH3 and CO2 gas; the maximum ∼22 sensor response at room temperature showed about 868.48 ppm of NH3 gas for MgO: SnO2 nanoparticles, with a fast response time of 25 s. However, the recovery time values were consistently higher than the response time values
