A study shows precise lithium isotopic composition in spodumene, suggesting effective analysis techniques.
Using SIMS, a precision of ±0.60‰ (2SD) can be achieved when determining the Li isotopic composition of spodumene. This precision is limited by in situ homogeneity of available reference material, rather than instrumental setup. Matrix effects can be avoided by using a 0V sample offset, and crystallographic orientation is not a factor.
