Plasma-promoted dielectric heating in the microwave synthesis of spinels

摘要

Comparison between the rates of synthesis of the spinel phases (MA1_2O_4) M = Mg,Zn,Ni;and MFe_2O_4,M = Mg,Zn,Mn) using an O_2 microwave-induced plasma (MIP) and conventional (tube furnace) methods indicate that a MIP promotes microwave dielectric heating at elevated temperatures.
