Surface Studies after Loading Metals with Hydrogen And/or Deuterium
نویسنده
چکیده
Surface studies of 40 μm thick Pd foils after electrolysis in D 2 O / H 2 SO 4 electrolyte for six minutes found inversions in isotopic ratios. Anomalous isotopic ratios were also found on the surface of a 350 μm thick Pd foil after electrolysis in the same electrolyte for 74 hours.

متن کاملTritium Production from a Low Voltage Deuterium Discharge on Palladium and Other Metals
Over the past year we have been able to demonstrate that a plasma loading method produces an exciting and unexpected amount of tritium from small palladium wires. In contrast to electrochemical hydrogen or deuterium loading of palladium, this method yields a reproducible tritium generation rate when various electrical and physical conditions are met. Small diameter wires (100 250 microns) have ...
