Tritium Production in Palladium Deuteride/hydride in Evacuated Chamber
نویسنده
چکیده
The controlled out-diffusion method was employed to induce a nuclear reaction in a palladium (Pd) plate with a MnOx film. The time-resolved mass spectra for Pd deuteride revealed tritium (T) production during the outdiffusion experiment. Similar time behaviors of mass number 1-4 and 6 in the spectra was also observed for Pd hydride. Film blackening was observed for most Pd deuteride as well as Pd hydrides using a normal monochromatic negative photographic film. The radiation from the Pd plate consists of two kinds of components for a Pd hydride. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy has shown considerable increase in counts of Li for Pd hydride after the outdiffusion experiment.

First-Principles Studies Of Ionic And Electronic Transport In Palladium Hydride
The transport properties of palladium hydride/deuteride are investigated using state-of-the-art density functional computational tools. This aspect of loaded hydride is important in that the resistance-loading curve is often used as a diagnostic in experiments to estimate the loading ratio. Understanding transport provides other important insights into some features of the nuclear reaction mech...

The phenomenon of hydrogen absorption by metals, discovered about 100 years ago, nowadays demands some interest for technological reasons (hydrogen storage, fuel cells, hydrogen embrittle ment of construction materials). The palladium/hydrogen system claims for an exceptional position among the metal hydrides of the protonic type: because of its relative simplicity the Pd/H2-system serves as a...

متن کاملNuts and Bolts of the Ion Band State Theory
The Nuts and Bolts of our Ion Band State theory of low energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) in palladium-deuteride (PdD) and palladium-hydride (PdH) are the electrons that hold together or tear apart the bonds (or lack of bonds) between deuterons (d's) or protons (ps) and the host material. In PdDx and PdHx, this bonding is strongly correlated with loading. In ambient loading conditions (x<~0.6),...
متن کاملSynthesis, Spectroscopy, and Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange in High-Spin Iron(II) Hydride Complexes
Very few hydride complexes are known in which the metals have a high-spin electronic configuration. We describe the characterization of several high-spin iron(II) hydride/deuteride isotopologues and their exchange reactions with one another and with H2/D2. Though the hydride/deuteride signal is not observable in NMR spectra, the choice of isotope has an influence on the chemical shifts of dista...
