description

Tin tungstate thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering method and studied by x-ray diffraction, confocal microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that the films are composed mainly of nanocrystalline α-SnWO4 phase. The possibility to use these films as write-once optical recording media is demonstrated.
