Abstract
    In this paper, we report on the obtention of nanocrystalline SrMoO4 synthesized through modified combustion process. These powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Raman and Infrared Spectroscopy. These studies reveal that the scheelite-type SrMoO4 crystallizes in tetragonal structure with I41/a (N#88) space group. Transmission electron microscopy image shows that the nanocrystalline SrMoO4 powders have average size of 18 nm. The optical band gap determined from the UV-V is absorption spectra for the as prepared sample is 3.7 eV. These powders showed a strong green photoluminescence emission. The samples are sintered at a relatively low temperature of 850oC. The morphology of the sintered pellet is studied with scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric constant and loss factor values obtained at 5 MHz for a well sintered SrMoO4 pellet has been found to be 9.50 and 7.5
