P. Debievre et S. Valkiers, MOLAR-MASS DETERMINATIONS FOR N-A (AVOGADRO) PROJECTS - PRESENT STATUS AND POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE, Metrologia, 31(3), 1994, pp. 245-249
The present status of molar mass measurements of silicon is summarized
because of their relevance to modern determinations of the Avogadro c
onstant: principles of the measurement, measurement procedures and pre
paration of the synthetic isotope mixtures used to calibrate the measu
rements are described. Typical results are shown and the potential for
improvements achievable in the near future is outlined.
