Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Characterization of Perovskite Oxides

Authors: Jesus Prado-Gonjal, Rainer Schmidt, Emilio Morán

The use of microwave irradiation is a promising alternative heat source for the synthesis of inorganic materials such as perovskite oxides. The method offers massive energy and time savings as compared to the traditional ceramic method. In this work we review the basic principles of the microwave heating mechanism based on interactions between dipoles in the material and the electromagnetic microwave. Furthermore, we comment on and classify all different sub-types of microwave synthesis such as solid-state microwave and microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis. In the experimental part of this work we present a large range of materials that were synthesized in our laboratories by one of the microwave techniques, where such materials include superconducting, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, dielectric and multiferroic perovskite systems.
