The Sr isotope ratio, which is used as basic data for rock formation time, crustal and mantle evolution studies, is determined by mass spectrometer such as thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) or multi-detector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). In this technical report, we compared how incomplete chemical separation of elements affects the determination of Sr isotope ratios. For the experiment, commercial resin, NBS987(NIST SRM987) Sr isotope standard, and rock standard samples from the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) such as JG1a, JB3 and JA1 were used. As a result of the comparative experiment, it was clearly observed that the measured values of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr change when Rb remains due to incomplete separation of the NBS987 Sr isotope standard sample as well as the rock standard samples of GSJ. This indicates that complete separation is an important factor since the calculated value deviates from the true value even though correction for isotope interference by isobar is performed when measuring the isotope ratio with MC-ICP-MS. This also suggests that, when reporting the measurement result of Sr isotope ratio using MC-ICP-MS, the measurement strength of ⁸⁵Rb should be reported together with the measurement strength of all isotopes of Sr so that isotope interference by isobar can be judged.

동위원소희석법에 의한 열이온화 질량분석법 (ID-TIMS)을 이용하여 지하수내 희토류원소의 함량을 측정하였다. 희토류원소의 분리에는 철공침법과 양이온교환수지에 의한 컬름분리법을 이용하였다. 경희토류(La-Eu)와 Gd, Dy, Er의 경우 수-수십 ppt의 수준에서 1%이내의 오차범위를 측정되어졌으며, 중희토류 중 Yb와 Lu은 정확도가 다소 떨어진 10% 전후에서 측정되었다. 지하수내 함량을 운석으로 규격화한 결과, 경희토류가 부화되었고 중희토류는 결핍되었으며 Eu의 이상은 거의 존재하지 않는다. 특히 경희토류에서는 M-type의 테트라드효과, 중희토류에서는 W-type의 테트라드효과가 관찰되었다. 이는 희토류원소의 수화수와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the effects of Pb/Tl ratio, Pb concentration and concomitant matrix elements on the measurement of Pb isotope ratios using multi-collector ICP/MS (AXIOM MC model). Accuracy and reproducibility of Pb isotope ratios in NBS 981 solution were estimated for 42 data measured from March to August 2001. Pb isotopes measured in rocks, bronzes and sediments were compared to data measured by TIMS. Reproducibilities for $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb,\; ^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb,\;and\;^{208}Pb/^{204}Pb$ ratio were about 500 ppm (2sd) and for $^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb$\;and\;^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb$ were 100~200 ppm for 200 ng of Pb in NBS 981 solution. The optimum conditions for the analysis of Pb isotope ratios with AXIOM MC for best accuracy and reproducibility were defined as follows; 1) Pb/Tl ratio is about 10 2) Pb concentration is about 100 ng/ml 3) correction for mass discrimination is performed by exponential law using 2.3887 of $^{205}Tl/^{203}Tl$ and Pb mass fractionation factor empirically obtained from $ln(^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb)-ln(^{205}Tl/^{203}Tl)$ relationship. The sample data measured with MC/ICP/MS for acid-digested and chemically separated rock samples, and acid-digested bronze samples and sediment samples coincide with those of TIMS within analytical errors. Therefore, MC/ICP/MS is a rapid analytical technique for Pb isotope ratios with the similar precision compared with TIMS.

Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry(IDMS) is one of the analytical method which uses enriched isotope spikes and analyzes the abundance of element by comparison of the spectrum between spiked mass and non-spike mass. Especially, the Thermal Ion Mass Spectrometry with isotope dilution technique (in general ID-TIMS) is the most accurate method of the chemical analysis, which enables us to obtain the data better than 1% in accuracy and precision. In IDMS, enriched isotope spike is one of the most important factor in order to obtain the best data. For rare earth elements, in general, a mixture of /sup 138/La, /sup 142/Ce, /sup 145/Nd, /sup 149/Sm, /sup 151/Sm, /sup 151/Eu, /sup 157/Gd, /sup 163/Dy, /sup 167/Er, /sup 171/Yb, and /sup 176/Lu is used as composite spike. IDMS is very useful in geochronology and REE geochemistry. Especially, it is very effective in studying the “tetrad effect” of rare earth elements in natural samples.

수 MV급 탄뎀형 가속기와 정전형, 자장형 질량분석기를 결합함으로써 존재비가 극히 작은 동위원소 측정이 가능해진다. 수 MeV로 가속이 되면 분해에 방해가 되는 모든 분자이온들이 제거되며, 탄뎀형 가속기에서는 음이온으로부터 가속이 개시되므로 몇몇 음이온을 형성하지 못하는 동중원소의 간섭으로부터 자유로워지기 때문에 고감도분석이 실현될 수 있다. 이외에 음이온을 형성하는 동중원소들은 주로 이온함인 최종 검출기에서의 유효 전하에 따른 에너지손실 차이를 이용하여 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다. 현재는 주로 장반감기 방사성동위원소인 $^{10}Be$, $^{14}C$, $^{26}Al$, $^{36}Cl$과 $^{129}I$ 등의 측정법이 확립되어 천연시료 중에서 동위원소 존재비 $10^{-12}$에서 $10^{-15}$까지의 정량이 가능하며, 원자수로 환산한 검출하한을 $10^5$개가 된다. 또한 해당 원소를 기준으로 소요 시료량은 대부분 mg 정도로 충분하다. 지금까지는 불가능했던 이러한 특징으로 인해 지난 수년간 AMS(Accelerator Mass Spectrometry)가 활용되어 온 연구분야는 지구과학(기후학, 우주화학, 빙하학, 수문학, 해양학, 퇴적학, 화산학 및 광물탐사), 인류 및 고고학(연대측정), 그리고 물리학(천체물리, 핵 및 입자물리) 등으로 다양하다. 이외에 생의학 및 재료과학 분야에서도 AMS를 활용하고자 하는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 본 해설에서는 가속기질량분석기술의 특징, 원리, 장치 및 활용분야 등을 소개하고자 하며, 이로써 관련 분야의 연구 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

With the advent of multi collector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, stable isotopic variations of non-traditional metal elements have provided important constraints on the sources of geologic materials. This review introduces the principles of magnesium isotopic fractionation and analytical methods. Recent case studies are also reviewed for the use of magnesium isotope signatures to decipher the source materials of I-, S-, and A-type granitoids in western North America, Australia, and China.

여러 가지 원소의 동위원소 성분 분석은 생물학, 화학, 환경학, 연대학, 기후학 연구에 있어서 중요한 정보를 제공하는 유용한 수단이다. 동위원소 성분비를 측정하는 방법으로는 가스 동위원소 질량분석기를 이용한 방법이 사용되어 왔지만, 최근 다이오드 레이저의 발달과 함께 다이오드레이저 흡수분광법(TDLAS)이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. TDLAS 방법의 경우 질량분석기를 이용하는 방법에서는 측정이 불가능한 동일질량 분자의 동위원소 성분비를 측정할 수 있다. (중략)

Quantitative understanding of total carbon, total inorganic carbon and total organic carbon contained in ocean sediments is a basic data for interpretation of oceanic sediment environments. Elemental analyzer(EA) is frequently used for the analysis of carbon contents in inland soils and ocean sediments. Carbon and nitrogen contents of the soil reference material analyzed by an EA were 2.30% and 0.21% with standard deviations of 0.02 and 0.01, respectively. Relative standard deviations were 0.01 and 0.06, respectively, representing a high precision. Regression analysis of TOC and TC analysis results for the samples with TOC of less than 2.0% for the site in Hyung-Do showed a linear relationship with a slope of 0.9743($R^2$=0.9989, n=38), and the results of a relationship regression analysis between total organic carbon contents less than 0.5% and average grain size except for two samples showed a linear relationship with a slope of 0.0444($R^2$=0.6937 n=36). TOC contents of surface sediments were in the ranges of 0.10~1.67%(Average $0.26{\pm}0.37%$) with TOC values of 1.67% at S02 sampling site, 1.13% at S07 sampling site, and less than 1.00% at remaining sites. In the case of PC 01 core sediments, TOC showed the highest value of 0.20% near 70 cm. In the case of PC 02 core sediments, the highest value of 0.24% was indicated near 60 cm. The analysis method of organic carbon obtained from Hyung-Do Intertidal zone sediment sample results may be considered applicable to an organic carbon analysis for ocean sediments and useful for organic carbon analysis experiments of ocean sediments with a reduction in time required for the analysis and a high precision coupled with a high accuracy.
