Abstract: | We report here the use of inorganic precursors as good microwave absorbers, by virtue of its polarity and high dielectric constant, to synthesize high temperature stable rare earth manganite, La0.7Ba0.3MnO3. Compared to other wet chemical methods, the oxides prepared by microwave assisted route give fine particle oxides (<30 nm) with effective BET surface area of 25 m2/g. Two factors contribute to the rapid synthesis of these high temperature phases. Firstly, the dielectric constant of the precursors employed increases the microwave power loss in the material and this leads to a local heating effect. Secondly decomposition of these precursors, lead to formation of finely divided oxides often accompanied by an exothermic reaction which provides the needed energy to effect the formation of the product. This method offers a new approach to employ inorganic precursors as starting materials to realize fast and effective reaction in microwave assisted material synthesis. |
