The Soret effect and isotopic fractionation in high-temperature silicate melts http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html [snip]Furthermore, large enhancements in the relative concentrations of heavy isotopes have been observed at the cold end of such gradients5<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref5>, 6<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref6>, 14<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref14>, 15<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref15>, 16<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref16>. In principle, observations of elemental and isotopic gradients in geochemical melts could provide further insight into the Soret effect, but the lack of a theoretical model prevents this10<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref10>, 16<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v473/n7345/full/nature09911.html#ref16>.

Re: [Vo]:Rossi uses sputtering like MAHG Alan Fletcher Sat, 21 May 2011 18:32:33 -0700 An alternative translation of Rossispeak http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2829&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=1560&sid=1bcf396d7381efeaaafd9b9d81c8e298 raphael : Here's what Rossi was attempting to say: To assert that we are enriching Ni powders in the conventional manner would be tantamount to asserting, absurdly, that we have invented either hot water or, in 2010, the then-long-familiar process of sputtering.
