Just read a paper this afternoon on microwave pyrolysis.

Ran off another batch of mercury nitrate, now drying to crystal....might try and microwave it. If that works it'd be a very controllable way of getting mercury oxide.

Crystalline substances should excite very well in microwave radiation, so the theory goes. I'll let you know if I blow the door off the oven.
