EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATION OF THE NEW ELEMENTS PRODUCTION IN THE DEUTERATED AND/OR HYDRIDE PALLADIUM ELECTRODES, EXPOSED TO THE LOW ENERGY DC GLOW DISCHARGE

摘要

Elemental and isotopic structures of the palladium cathode before and after experiment under DC glow discharge were investigated by time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Production of new elements with various atomic masses and impurities increase were surveyed. By analyzing obtained results, it was found that beryllium and nickel for deuterium-palladium system, and lithium, nickel and barium for hydrogen-palladium system, were generated during glow discharge experiments.
