“…Matrix suppression effect is an inherent problem during rare earth materials being analyzed using ICP-MS [1,2,19,20,22,[24][25][26][28][29][30][31]. In this work, six solutions of 99.999% high purity Sm 2 O 3 matrix with 0, 300, 500, 700, 1000 and 1500 g mL −1 spiked with Y, La, Pr, Tb of 2.0 g L −1 , respectively, were used to carried out this tests as well as 10 g L −1 In was also spiked in these solutions as internal standard.…”
