Abstract A method has been developed for quantification of trace rare earth (Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb and Yb) impurities in alumina and aluminum by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after matrix separation. The matrix separation was achieved by selective precipitation of trace elements. Due to its refractory nature a microwave digestion method was developed and optimized for the quantitative dissolution of Al2O3. The analytical methodology was validated by recovery studies with standard addition as well as with an independent γ-spectrometry technique using 152,154Eu tracers. The observed recovery in the synthetic samples was in the range of 93–100% with precision within 6.1–11.6 (%RSD), while the same in the case of radio tracer technique were found to be >98% and <2% (RSD), respectively. The method detection limit was found within 0.5–8.3 μg kg−1, respectively. The procedure is simple, organic waste free and suitable for routine analysis.

Absolute calibration of radiometers is usually implemented onboard using one hot and one cold external calibration targets. However, two-point calibration methods are unable to differentiate calibration drifts and associated errors from fluctuations in receiver gain and offset. Furthermore, they are inadequate to characterize temporal calibration stability of radiometers. In this paper, a preliminary study with linear radiometer systems has been presented to show that onboard external three-point calibration offers the means to quantify calibration drifts in the radiometer systems, and characterize associated errors as well as temporal stability in Earth and space measurements. Radiometers with three external calibration reference targets operating two data processing paths: i.e., (1) measurement path and (2) calibration validation path have been introduced. In the calibration validation data processing path, measurements of one known calibration target is calibrated using the other two calibration references, and temporal calibration stability and possible calibration temperature drifts are analyzed. In the measurement data processing path, the impact of the calibration drifts on Earth and space measurements is quantified and bounded by an upper limit. This two-path analysis is performed through calibration error analysis (CEA) diagrams introduced in this paper.

Abstract The 4s24p 2P3/2 – 2P1/2 magnetic dipole transition in Ga-like ions is interested in developing of high precise highly charged ion clock [Phys. Rev. A, 99, 02213(2019)]. In this work, we present direct observations of the transition in Mo11+ and Ru13+ ions at an electron beam ion trap. Internal and external calibration methods are used for determining the wavelength of the Mo11+ and Ru13+ lines, respectively. Both measurements reach precision levels of a few ppm. Compared with the available values, the current results significantly improve the experimental uncertainty.

The determination of trace elements, particularly rare earth elements, in uranium ore concentrates (UOCs) is important as the pattern can be indictive ore characteristics. Presented here is a methodology for accurately quantifying rare earth elements (REE) in UOCs. To improve the measurement uncertainty, isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) was utilized over other quantification techniques such as external calibration or standard addition. The isotopic determinations were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). To obtain high-fidelity isotopic measurements, separation of the REE from the uranium matrix was achieved by high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC), reducing the isobaric interferences. After separation, the target analytes were analyzed in two different modalities. For high precision analysis, the separated analytes were collected and measured by ICP-MS in an “offline” fashion. For a rapid approach, the separated analytes were sent directly into an ICP-MS for “online” analysis. These methods have been demonstrated to accurately quantify the REE content in a well-characterized UOC sample.

One of the most important challenges in the simultaneous determination of the five alkaline elements is that their abundance differs thousands of times in natural samples. Therefore, usually the analysis of the same samples is performed using several analytical methods or techniques. An atomic emission spectrometry is the most selective method for the determination of alkaline elements in wide ranges of their contents. The reliable and correct simultaneous determination of major and trace elements contents by one method is economically attractive for classifying rocks, reconstructing the conditions of their formation, etc. The atomic emission spectrometry technique of the simultaneous determination of the five alkaline elements was developed with the use of the modern equipment. The accuracy and trueness of the developed technique results were evaluated in the current study. The technique features were the preparation and the analysis of the high-salt solutions of the geochemical samples, and the use of a low-temperature propane-butane flame and multichannel photoelectric recording of the spectra for the simultaneous determination of alkali metals contents. A specific data processing ensured accounting for the spectral background and minimizing the interferences when calibrating by CRMs with various compositions and genesis. The determined concentrations ranges of alkaline elements in natural and man-made environments had been expanded by improving the detection limits and using several analytical lines of Na, K and Rb with different spectral features. FAES results were compared with the results of XRF, ICP-MS, the standard addition and dilution methods, and its accuracy and trueness were found to be satisfactory for the requirements of geological and geochemical studies.
