Abstract

A procedure is described to obtain SI-traceable silicon isotope amount ratios in the BaSiF6 form. On the basis of a gravimetric approach, three synthetic isotope mixtures were made, very similar to natural Si, by blending silicon isotopically enriched with 28Si, 29Si and 30Si. These mixtures served as references to calibrate measurements of (SiF3)+ current ratios. In this way, it was possible to make SI-traceable measurements of silicon isotope amount ratios, without any assumptive correction. The isotopic composition of the natural Si crystal WASO17.2 was remeasured and its molar mass was redetermined.
