Abstract

Fabrication of WO3 tungsten oxide nanoparticles by evaporation of the initial oxide material with a focused beam of 24-GHz electromagnetic radiation generated in a 5-kW gyrotron complex at a design microwave power density of 10 kW/cm2 has been experimentally studied. Tungsten oxide powders consisting of particles, which sizes are in range of 20 nm up to 1 μm, have been obtained. The particles have different shapes, close to spherical or octahedral, suggesting their formation via both the “vapor-liquid-crystal” and the “vapor-crystal” mechanism. The maximal evaporation rate was 100 g/h. The feasibility of powder dispersity controlling by varying the flow rate of cooling air has been revealed.
