The ⁷Li/⁶Li ratios in fourteen USGS, MPI-DING, and NIST glass reference materials (RMs) were analyzed by LG-SIMS to assess compositional matrix effects, evaluate RM δ⁷Li homogeneity, and calculate the useful yield of lithium in silicate glasses. The analyzed RMs cover a range of SiO₂ contents from 45.5 to 75.6% (komatiite to rhyolite), the largest compositional range yet evaluated for δ⁷Li matrix effects. We observe a matrix-induced bias (matrix effect) of up to 18‰ over the studied range that linearly correlates with SiO₂ content, demonstrating that SiO₂ content is a critical factor that must be considered when using silicate glasses to standardize for silicate samples of unknown δ⁷Li composition. All RMs were found to be sufficiently reproducible to aid in standardization of variable SiO₂ contents and appear isotopically homogeneous at the precision of our measurements. Lithium ionizes very efficiently in these RMs, with measurable yields >5% in all fused-rock RMs and >15% in low SiO₂ fused-rock RMs measured at high beam intensities. Finally, fused-rock RMs ionize lithium 2-3x more efficiently than synthetic glass RMs, which may be related to differences in major oxide chemistry and the reduced nature of the synthetic glasses relative to their fused counterparts.
