Popis: | Solid standards prepared by freeze-drying consistently showed a high degree of homogeneity. The freezing process, completed in fractions of a second, preserves the original homogeneous distribution of the dopants, and the subsequent sublimation step would minimize any disturbance. Compared to those prepared by conventional methods such as blending and spiking, freeze-dried standards exhibited superior lateral distribution and better uniform depth distribution. There is, however, a concentration constraint for achieving homogeneity. At 5% doping, segregation was observed in both lateral and depth distribution. Many tungsten standards doped with 10–28 elements ranging from 10 to 200 ppm were successfully prepared and used as controls for a number of analytical techniques including glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) and d.c.-arc optical emission spectroscopy (OES).
