<dc:description xml:lang='en'>In this paper the results of cathodoluminescence (CL) emission study of undoped and 

doped SnO  films are discussed. SnO  films were deposited by spray pyrolysis method. It was 
shown that the study of CL emission is effective method for structural characterization of 
metal oxides aimed to gas sensor applications. It was concluded that the changes taking place 
in CL spectra are connected with the change of both the grain size and the crystallinity (stoichiometry) of the surface layer and the bulk of SnO . The shape of CL spectra depends 
on correlation between well-crystallized core and disordered surface layer. It was found that 
doping is accompanied by deterioration of film crystallinity and the growth of concentration 
of structural defects responsible for unradiative recombination of excited electrons and holes.  </dc:description>
