The XRD analysis showed that all samples crystallize as single phase and the orthorhombic lattice SrGd2O4. TEM analysis determined high degree of crystallinity of samples with grain size of approximately 200 nm for Dy3+ doped and 150 nm for Sm3+ doped SrGd2O4. For both samples SAED confirmed that diffraction rings correspond to the hkl plane indices of SrGd2O4, while EDS confirmed presence of Dy in crystal structure. Results of luminescent characterization demonstrated all appropriate emission peaks related to either Dy3+ or Sm3+ dopant ions. Investigation of dopant concentration revealed that the lowest values of both dopants have the most prominent emission peaks, while coordinates obtained from the CIE diagram showed emission shifting with the change of concentration.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68809083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure/properties of 3D_W/M were confirmed by applying FTIR, XRD, TGD/DTA, and SEM analysis. The adsorption properties of hybrid adsorbents were carried out for As(V) and Cr(VI) removal - one relative to the initial pH value, the adsorbent mass, the temperature, and the adsorption time. Time-dependent adsorption study was best described by pseudo-second order equation, while Weber Morris analysis showed that intraparticle diffusion controled diffusional transport. Similar activation energy, 17.44 and 14.49 kJ?mol-1 for adsorption As(V) and Cr(VI) on 3D_W/M, respectively, indicated main contribution of physical adsorption. Determination of adsorption parameters was performed by applying different adsorption isotherm models, and the best fit was obtained using Freundlich model. The adsorption capacity of 24.16 and 29.6 mg g-1 for As(V) and Cr(VI) at 2?C, Co = 5.5 and 5.3 mg L-1, respectively, were obtained.

Also three-point bending test was performed to determine their transverse rupture strength (TRS). Wear tests were carried out based on the ball on disc method. The microstructure examination revealed that the reinforcing elements were relatively homogeneously distributed in the aluminium matrix. In addition, the fracture was brittle due to the notch effect and agglomeration occurred with increasing amount of CNF. As the CNF amount of the samples increased, their hardness values increased but their TRS values decreased. Results of the wear test indicate that the increased amount of CNF increased the wear resistance. The friction coefficient values of the samples varied between 0.535 and 0.646.

TO2 mode showed a Fano asymmetry due to its interaction with polarization fluctuations in polar micro-regions, which are a consequence of the presence of oxygen vacancies caused by activation.
