Materials with magnetic properties, regardless of ferro-magnetic, ortho-magnetic, or anti-magnetic, are heated in magnetic field of high frequency electromagnetic waves. The intensity of heating varies with composition of the materials. Among the iron oxides, hematite Fe2O3 is not heated significantly, but magnetite Fe2O4 is heated extensively. Among the titanium oxides, TiO exhibits greater microwave absorption than TiO2. As such, pure water exhibits smaller microwave absorption than water containing impurities such as various oxides. Selective heating appears in a mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
So far, it was deemed that dielectric loss absorption of electric field was the dominant mode of heating and the magnetic field played little role in microwave heating. Our research revealed that magnetic materials, i.e. materials with un-paired electron spins, leads to possible synthesis of totally new compounds that otherwise were impossible by conventional methods. For the exploration of new theory and for the discovery and understanding of new phenomena as a foundation for development of new materials, the progress of knowledge for atomic/molecules are the absolutely mandatory.
