title: One-minute synthesis of crystalline binary and ternary metal oxide nanoparticles.
abstract: Highly crystalline metal oxide nanoparticles such as CoO, ZnO, Fe(3)O(4), MnO, Mn(3)O(4), and BaTiO(3) were synthesized in just a few minutes by reacting metal alkoxides, acetates or acetylacetonates with benzyl alcohol under microwave heating.
