Analysis of nuclear transmutations observed in D-and H-loaded Pd films

摘要

New experiments of transmutation of elements in Pd films loaded with deuterium and hydrogen and processed by an excimer laser have been performed. The films were deposited on pure Si wafers having rough and smooth surfaces. The sample were put into inox chambers filled with D_2 or H_2 at a total pressure up to 6 bar. Some samples were irradiated by an excimer laser after the loading process. At the end, the samples were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope and an electron probe microanalyzer.
