“…1 Nd has seven natural isotopes: 142 Nd, 143 Nd, 144 Nd, 145 Nd, 146 16 This method is time-consuming in preparing and calibrating the double spikes and complicated in calculation during measurements. Moreover, the double spikes for Nd isotopes are not easily available for many of the laboratories.…”

A method has been developed to determine high-precision stable Nd isotopic compositions in geological samples by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) using samplestandard-bracketing (SSB) mode. Nd was pre-concentrated and purified through a two-column ionexchange chromatographic procedure. The recovery for Nd is generally better than 96%, and the interferences, such as Ce and Sm can be efficiently removed, allowing negligible influence on the stable Nd isotopic composition during mass spectrometry measurement.

“…In a similar way to other isotopes, such as Li, Fe and Nd (Anbar et al . , Pistiner and Henderson , Wakaki and Tanaka ), large Ca isotopic fractionation could occur during chemical purification processes (possibly up to 4‰) and mass determination (e.g., Russell and Papanastassiou , Zhu et al . ).…”

High‐precision calcium isotopic compositions of a set of geological reference materials from the IAG (OU‐6), ANRT (UB‐N), MPI‐DING, USGS and GSJ, relative to NIST SRM 915a, are reported here. Measurements were performed by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (Triton instrument) using a 42Ca–43Ca double spike. δ44/40Ca values of selected reference materials, mainly felsic rocks, are reported for the first time. Felsic rock values of δ44/40Ca ranged from 0.13‰ to 1.17‰, probably implying Ca isotopic fractionation could occur during magma evolution. δ44/40Ca values of ultramafic rocks, ranging from 0.74‰ to 1.51‰, were positively correlated with MgO and negatively with CaO contents, possibly owing to Ca isotopic fractionation during partial melting. δ44/40Ca of intermediate‐mafic rocks were around 0.78‰ and displayed limited variation, suggesting Ca isotopic fractionation is insignificant during magma evolution processes. As expected, δ44/40Ca of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks varied widely due to complex geological processes.

“…A study by Wakaki and Tanaka () of Nd, measured by TIMS using a double spike, showed mass‐dependent isotope fractionation of commercial Nd oxide reagents and the long‐used La Jolla Nd isotopic reference material, relative to the JNdi‐1 Nd reference material, of up to 1.3 ε units/amu. The La Jolla results are particularly pertinent for comparing low uncertainty data for 142 Nd on natural samples, suggesting that these data always should be normalised to the JNdi‐1 reference material (O'Neil et al .…”

Advances in the chemical and isotopic characterisation of geological and environmental materials can often be ascribed to technological improvements in analytical hardware. Equally, the creation of novel methods of data acquisition and interpretation, including access to better reference materials, can also be crucial components enabling important breakthroughs. This biennial review highlights key advances in either instrumentation or data acquisition and treatment, which have appeared since January 2010. This review is based on the assessments by scientists prominent in each of the given analytical fields; it is not intended as an exhaustive summary, but rather provides insight from experts of the most significant advances and trends in their given field of expertise. In contrast to earlier reviews, this presentation has been formulated into a unified work, providing a single source covering a broad spectrum of geoanalytical techniques. Additionally, some themes that were not previously emphasised, in particular thermal ionisation mass spectrometry, accelerator‐based methods and vibrational spectroscopy, are also presented in detail.
