coating the sols produced by the sol-gel method on stainless steel substrates
with a spin coating device. Tartaric acid which acts as a gelation agent were
used as a stabilizer in the production of sols. In addition to the nanofilms
produced with and without stabilizer addition, SnO <sub>2 </sub> film coatings
were also performed with an aging process involving tartaric acid to
demonstrate the effect of aging on grain size. The morphology, structure,
crystal and grain size of SnO <sub>2 </sub> nanofilms were investigated and the
effect of tartaric acid stabilizer on grain size and morphology was
investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy
(AFM) for the characterization of surface properties of nanofilms, and also
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for the examination of the crystal structure
and the calculation of the crystal size were performed.  </p> <p> </p>}, number={6}, publisher={Sakarya University}
