S. Kozuka et al., DETERMINATION OF IMPURITIES IN STRONTIUM-TITANATE CERAMICS BY INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 351(8), 1995, pp. 801-802
The determination of impurities in SrTiO3 by ICP-MS was investigated.
The sample was decomposed with hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids in
a PTFE pressure vessel. The internal standard method using Au was sele
cted to eliminate an ion count suppression by the Sr and Ti matrix. Im
purities at sub mu g/ml level in SrTiO3 were determined. The detection
limits were in the range of 0.008 to 0.01 mu g/g.
