Abstract

Tin oxide coatings are applied to glass containers as adhesion promoters for the organic lubricants. Here, room temperature conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) is used to analyse a range of tin oxide coated containers. Readable CEMS curves could be obtained even for the thinnest (30 CTU or about 6 nm) coatings. The hyperfine parameters calculated from the spectral curves show that tin is tetravalent in crystalline form with a preferential grain orientation, which is reduced on annealing. The presence of tin in other oxidation states and dissolved in the matrix was excluded.
