The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a new technique for elemental
and isotopic analysis which combines the remarkable characteristics of the ICP for atomizing …

The combined study of Ce and Nd stable isotopes is promising because Ce and Nd behave
similarly in geological processes and distinctively in redox reactions. However, the …

We report novel techniques allowing the measurement of Nd-isotope ratios with
unprecedented accuracy and precision by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass …

We report stable cerium (Ce) isotopic compositions of terrestrial rocks and investigate Ce
isotopic fractionation during column chemistry in this study. Cerium was separated from …

A novel, fast and reliable sample preparation procedure for the simultaneous separation of
Sr, Pb, and Nd has been developed for subsequent isotope ratio analysis of sediment …

Stable Nd isotope ratio is a potentially useful tool to provide new constraints on the
geological reservoir formation processes, complementing information from the radiogenic …

The separation of Ce from other rare earth elements has not been well established because
of their similar geochemical properties. In this study, we report a single-stage extraction …

Stable Ce isotope ratios are considered potential indicators for tracing the redox state of
Earth's surface; however, their quantitative relationship remains undefined. Here, we …

Removing interferences such as Ce on Nd isotopes during column chemistry is hard to
achieve due to their similar properties. In this study, we established a simple but efficient Nd …
