Lithium and magnesium isotopes fractionation by zone melting

The process of changing isotopic composition of the lithium and magnesium salts was studied by using the process of zone melting. It was founded in the paper that the process of separation of the lithium isotopes is more effective than for magnesium isotopes when the conditions of process were the same. The coefficients of isotopes separation were calculated and have the next value: [alpha]=1.006 for 26Mg isotope and [alpha]=1.0022 for {6}Li isotope.
