Some experimental data on thin mixed films of silicon monoxide/germanium dioxide.

Mixed amorphous films are of interest as electronic materials and materials based on silicon monoxide are under substantial investigation. Comparisons are made between SiO/GeO[sub 2] and SiO/SnO[sub 2] films. In general the electrical properties of the two series are similar but the optical properties demonstrate significant differences. The effect of SnO[sub 2] addition has a greater effect on paramagnetic resonance than adding GeO[sub 2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
