Milton, M. J. T. and Mills, I. (2009) Amount of substance and the proposed redefinition of the mole. Metrologia, 46 (3). pp. 332-338. ISSN 0026-1394 doi: 10.1088/0026-1394/46/3/022

Abstract/Summary

There has been considerable discussion about the merits of redefining four of the base units of the SI, including the mole. In this paper, the options for implementing a new definition for the mole based on a fixed value for the Avogadro constant are discussed. They are placed in the context of the macroscopic nature of the quantity amount of substance and the opportunity to introduce a system for molar and atomic masses with unchanged values and consistent relative uncertainties.
