A preliminary investigation into the use of molecular oxide and hydride secondary ion relationships for improvement of the 236U/238U determination on a NanoSIMS 50L

摘要

Plot of U/ U versus U/ U ratios determined by SIMS reported in the literature [data compilation can be found in the electronic appendix (supplementary table )]. A linear regression through the literature data (the black dotted curve) closely follows the predicted U H/ U ratio at any given U/ U assuming a 1% hydride formation rate (the gray solid curve).
