ISOTOPIC TOPOLOGY AS A THERMODYNAMICALLY UNCLONABLE ANCHOR FOR SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY
Abstract: We propose a novel hardware assurance primitive based on the spatially mapped vector gradients of stable isotopes (⁶²Ni / ⁵⁸Ni). Unlike PUFs based on manufacturing variations, Isotopic Topology relies on the binding energy of the nucleus to create a "Physical Anchor" that requires serial, atom-by-atom assembly to replicate. This paper demonstrates that the thermodynamic work function required to clone such an anchor exceeds the economic value of the asset it protects by a factor of 10⁴.

Throughput Asymmetry Constraints on Isotopic Watermarks
Abstract: This study analyzes the throughput limitations of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) deposition for counterfeiting isotopic watermarks. We establish a "Throughput Asymmetry" metric, comparing the time-to-create (milliseconds) vs. time-to-clone (11-115 days). We present empirical data showing that even with next-generation multi-beam FIB systems, the cloning latency remains prohibitive for supply chain attacks.
