Isotopic Analysis of Lithium by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

Abstract

An 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.
