โฆ Synopsis
Mixed-actinide microstandard particles have been produced for calibration and performance testing of isotope-ratio mass spectrometers and ion and electron microprobe instruments. The spherical micrometer-size particles consist of an aluminosilicate matrix loaded with 2.2% by weight of isotopically certified uranium and 0.11% by weight of isotopically certified plutonium. The uranium and plutonium isotopic compositions have been verified b thermal ionization mass spectrometry and secondary ionization mass spectrometry SIMS).
r both
The elemental composition of the microspheres has been determined by both electron microprobe and SIMS analysis. (
