| A number of research works dealing with studies of low energy nucleus reactions in the solid state revealed generation of “unexpected elements” on the surface of palladium. In most cases this phenomenon might be connected with ascending diffusion of impurities in alloys. However, studies of Yasuhiro Iwamura revealed the transfer of isotopes 137Ba and 138Ba into 149Sm and 150Sm. The present manuscript proposes the mechanism of such transmutations occurrence. The change in nucleus composition is induced by penetration of deuterium through the Pd complexes. We assume that interaction can occur only at resonance transfer of deuterium to the nucleus of the acceptor. Similar to interactions D+D and D+T, the interaction occurs on defects of crystalline structure of metal near the surface. The proposed mechanism does not at all assume the transmutation of any elements. When selecting objects one should take into account the structure of nuclei and their capability to absorb neutrons. |
