Tin dioxide whiskers doped with different concentrations of antimony (0-0.25 at.%) have been grown from SnO and Sb(2)O(3) mixture in a tube furnace in a flowing mixture of argon and oxygen at a constant source temperature. The whiskers possess high structural perfection. Influence of Sb on crystal structure, morphology and conductivity of SnO(2) whiskers is investigated. Antimony doping allows a decrease in the resistance of SnO(2) whiskers up to 10(6) times. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
