In this analysis the Surface Responses Method was used, that is Central Composite Design (CCD) with two factors, that is processing time (X1 = 30, 60, and 90 minutes) and ultrasonication amplitude (X2 = 70, 80, and 90 %) to the degree of crystallinity. The results indicated the optimum point was obtained at a combination of 60 minutes of processing time and 80% amplitudes with the highest degree of crystallinity of 76.23%. The Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectrum at wavenumbers 3340 cm-1 to 2899 cm-1 showed the characteristics of absorption bands in the form of carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups, which indicate the existence of cellulose compounds.

Emission Spectra of all the samples revealed intense peaks centred at 607, 618 and 637 are attributed to 5D0 7F2 of Europium (III) ions accommodated at various lattice sites having different energies.

In this case, the critical distance was found to be 19.87 Å, therefore the mechanism involved in concentration quenching of Sr2MgSi2O7 doped with 2.0 mol % of Europium (III) must be only multipole-multipole exchange whereas the exchange interaction is ineffective.","PeriodicalId":177608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130194681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sambiloto extract concentration used in this study was 0.5% w/v. The silver nano/micro particles produced via biosynthesis was characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
