Yasushi Azuma, G Barat, Guido Bartl, Horst Bettin, Michael Borys, I Busch, L Cibik, G D' Agostino, K Fujii, H Fujimoto, A Hioki, Michael Krumrey, U Kuetgens, N Kuramoto, Giovanni Mana, E Massa, R Meess, Shigeki Mizushima, T Narukawa, Arnold Nicolaus, Axel Pramann, Savelas A. Rabb, Olaf Rienitz, C Sasso, M Stock, Robert D. Vocke Jr., A Waseda, S Zakel
In this paper new results of an international research project aimed at determining the Avogadro constant by counting the atoms in an isotopically enriched silicon crystal are reported. The 28Si spheres were decontaminated and reworked in order to produce

Final report of the key comparison CCQM-K98: Pb isotope amount ratios in bronze

Jochen Vogl, Yong-Hyeon Yim, Kyoung-Seok Lee, Heidi Goenaga-Infante, Dmitriy Malinowskiy, Tongxiang Ren, Jun Wang, Robert D. Vocke Jr., Karen E. Murphy, Naoko Nonose, Olaf Rienitz, Janine Noordmann, Teemu Naeykki, Timo Sara-Aho, Bet?l Ari, Oktay Cankur
Isotope amount ratios are proving useful in an ever increasing array of applications that range from studies unravelling transport processes, to pinpointing the provenance of specific samples as well as trace element quantification by using isotope

Determination of Low-Level Sulfur Concentrations by Isotope Dilution Multi-Collector Inductively Couple Plasma Mass Spectrometry (D-MC-ICPMS) Using 33S Spike and Internal Normalization for Mass Bias Correction

February 28, 2012
Author(s)
Jacqueline L. Mann, Robert D. Vocke Jr., William R. Kelly
An isotope dilution (ID) multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) method combined with an internal normalization approach for mass bias correction has been used to determine low-level sulfur (S) concentrations in a

Final Report: Key Comparison CCQM Pilot Ka35: Determination of Sulfur in Diesel Fuel

April 2, 2007
Author(s)
William R. Kelly, Robert D. Vocke Jr., Jacqueline L. Mann, Gregory C. Turk
The CCQM-K35 Key Comparison was organized by the Inorganic Analysis Working Group (IAWG) of the CCQM to test the capabilities of National Metrological Institutes (NMI s) to measure the sulfur content of diesel fuel at the 40 g/g level. Four NMI s

Final Report: Report of the CCQM Pilot P26.1: Determination of Sulfur in Diesel Fuel

January 1, 2007

William R. Kelly, Robert D. Vocke Jr., Jacqueline L. Mann, Gregory C. Turk
The European Union and the United States have set new lower limits on sulfur in diesel transport fuel of 10 g/g and 15 g/g, respectively. Implementation of these regulations will require the production of high accuracy standards at these and lower levels
