Glasses of Sn-doped SiO2 were obtainted by the sol-gel method from two different Sn precursors, Sn(OtBu)4 and Sn(OOCCH3)2(C4H9)2. Structural modifications from xerogel to glass were monitored by Raman spectroscopy at different steps of the condensation process. The shifts of the SiO2 intrinsic vibrational modes show that Sn-doping can influence the structural properties of SiO2 even at relatively low tin concentrations. The changes depend on the thermal treatment and the preparation method. It is suggested that the formation of the SiO2 network is affected by the tin doping process during the early stages of the condensation.

Abstract
Glasses of Sn-doped SiO2 were obtainted by the sol-gel method from two different Sn precursors, Sn(OtBu)4 and Sn(OOCCH3)2(C4H9)2. Structural modifications from xerogel to glass were monitored by Raman spectroscopy at different steps of the condensation process. The shifts of the SiO2 intrinsic vibrational modes show that Sn-doping can influence the structural properties of SiO2 even at relatively low tin concentrations. The changes depend on the thermal treatment and the preparation method. It is suggested that the formation of the SiO2 network is affected by the tin doping process during the early stages of the condensation.
