Localized nuclear transmutation in PdH-x observed by Bockris and Minevski revealed a characteristic of CF phenomenon

摘要

In the Pd/H_2O electrolysis system, new elements, Mg, Cl, Fe, Al, Ca, K, and others, absent in the orignial system have been observed by Bockris and Minevsiki (Infinte Energy 1995-96; 5 and 6:67) in the surface region of the metal hydride PdH_x cathode with a thickness of 2 um up to 10 the matrix element Pd. The data is anlayzed using the TNCF model to give consistent explanation of these new elements by fission of nuclei formed from Pd isotopes in cathode by absorption of a thermal neutron. The parameter ofthe model, n_n is determined to be n_n=3.0×10~(11) cm~(-3) consistent with the values determined by other experimental data in vaiours envents of CF phenomenon.
