electrical properties of the ZTOst standard sample. Yet, the simultaneous substitutional fluorinedoping of SnO2 must also be considered, as will be discussed in the paragraph when XRD and XPS analyses are presented. Considering the most intense peak (101) of the dominant phase SnO2, the crystallite size (D
deconvolution, a correlation can be made between the fluorinedoping atomic percent (from the XPS analysis) and the Raman shift value of the A1g band or the B2g peak area as shown in Figure 4b. Thus, with the increase of fluorine content in the powders, the A1g position shifts toward lower wave numbers, whereas
