Investigation of a cleaning procedure for silicon spheres used in the realization and dissemination of the redefined kilogram via combined spectroscopic and gravimetric measurements

The new definition of the SI kilogram requires new methods of realizing this unit. The X-ray crystal density method is a primary realization method and uses silicon spheres. The spheres get cleaned before each measurement, in order to remove surface contaminations and thus reduce their uncertainty c...
