Isotopic composition of Yb and the determination of Lu concentrations and Lu/Hf ratios by isotope dilution using MC‐ICPMS

Vervoort, Jeff D., Patchett, P. Jonathan, Söderlund, Ulf, Baker, Mark·2004·Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems

Abstract

We report Yb isotopic data for the purpose of accurately correcting measurements of Lu and Lu/Hf ratios during Multicollector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (MC‐ICPMS) analysis. The Yb isotopic ratios agree with recent results of Chu et al. [2002] and Amelin and Davis [2004], when corrected for mass fractionation to the same reference values. Protocols for Lu measurement involving simultaneous subtraction of Yb interference and application of a fractionation correction based on Yb are described. It is shown that Lu concentrations and Lu/Hf ratios determined by MC‐ICPMS using this methodology are more precise and potentially more accurate than results based on analysis of Lu by Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS). A number of MC‐ICPMS Lu‐Hf isotopic analyses of standard rocks and other geological samples, previously analyzed by TIMS, are presented. These document reproducibility of Lu/Hf within 0.2%, where most discrepancies can be assigned to the unknown Lu mass fractionation during TIMS analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
