AbstractAn atomic absorption method was developed to determine the isotopic composition of lithium. The method utilizes neon-filled 6Li and 7Li hollow cathode emission lamps and a flame atomizer. The absolute precision of the method is ±0.5 at.% 6Li.KeywordsAnalysis for lithium isotopesAtomic absorption spectroscopyMethodsanalyticalTechniquesspectroscopicGet full access to this articleView all access options for this article.Get accessReferences1.
