Melt synthesis and characterization of complexed perovskite-oxides in the system of A2+(B+ 2/5B6+ 3/5)O3 - A3+(B+ 3/5B6+ 2/5)O3

In order to synthesize various Perovskite ABO₃ type compounds and their solid solutions, we have applied a novel “melt synthesis technique” rather than conventional solid state reaction techniques. In the melt synthesis, the mixture of oxides or their precursors is melted in a short period of time (1–60 sec) by a strong light radiation in an arc imaging furnace. A spherical molten sample where multiple cations were mixed homogeneously was directly solidified on a copper hearth with a rapid cooling of 10² K/sec. Solid solutions based upon 1:1 ordered Perovskite in the system of Sr(Li_2/5W_3/5)O₃-La(Li_3/5W_2/5)O₃ were synthesized in this technique.
