caption_attribution_description: The view of the SiSn lattice as seen from the &lt;100&gt; direction. The further silicon atoms are displayed using a lighter shade of blue. The red atom is the Sn atom occupying a silicon lattice point.
context_page_description: Silicon-tin or SiSn, is in general a term used for an alloy of the form Si₍₁₋ₓ₎Snₓ. The molecular ratio of tin in silicon can vary based on the fabrication methods or doping conditions. In general, SiSn is known to be intrinsically semiconducting, and even small amounts of Sn doping in silicon can also be used to create strain in the silicon lattice and alter the charge transport properties.
