Low temperature crystallization of SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films using microwave oven

Barium strontium titanate nanocrystalline thin films prepared by soft chemical method

“…The schematic arrangement for the film crystallization inside the microwave oven was published by Zanetti et al 17 and is showed in Fig. 2.…”

“…Continuous effort has been seen in literature to developed techniques for making high quality nanostructures at lower temperatures. 16,17 A new tool for high-temperature processing of materials, microwave energy, has been developed in recent years. Much attention has focused on this technology due to advantages it offers with microwave processing, including reduced processing costs, higher quality production, new materials and products, etc.…”

Synthesis and photoluminescence behavior of Bi4Ti3O12 powders obtained by the complex polymerization method

“…Typical examples of compounds belonging to the Aurivillius family are SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 , SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 , CaBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 (m = 2) [4][5][6], Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (m = 3) [7] and BaBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 (m = 4) [8]. In particular, the bismuth titanate (Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 -BiT) has received special attention due to its potential for the development of non-volatile ferroelectric random access memories (NV-FeRAM's) [9].…”

Domestic microwave oven adapted for fast heat treatment of Ba0.5Sr0.5(Ti0.8Sn0.2)O3 powders

“…With proper understanding and control, many technically important materials can be heated rapidly, uniformly, selectively, less expansively and with greater control than is possible with conventional methods [18]. With the microwave energy is possible the fast attainment of niobates, tantalates and titanates thin films such as LiNbO 3 [19], SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 [20], Bi 3.25 La 0.75 Ti 3 O 12 , [21], and BSTSn powders, studied in this article.…”
