Capillary fusion through Coulomb barrier screening in turbulent processes generated by high intensity current pulses
M. Rambaut 57 H Rue de Ia Hacquiniere, Bures-sur-Yvette 91440, France Received 11 December 1991; accepted for publication 5 January 1992 Communicated by J.P. Vigier An experiment performed in Kid in 1973 paves the way to a possible new model of non-thermonuclear fusion. The process could be pycnonuclear and explain other experiments such as the […]
Characterizing the excess electron of Li(NH3)4
Thomas Sommerfeld∗ and Katelyn M. Dreux Department of Chemistry and Physics, Southeastern Louisiana University, SLU 10878, Hammond, LA 70402, USA (Dated: Oct. 17 2012) Abstract Small lithium ammonia clusters are model systems for the dissociation of metals into solvated cations and electrons in ammonia. Metal–ammonia solutions display a complex behavior with increasing metal concentration including […]

Nuclear fusion in very dense plasmas obtained from electrically ‘exploded’ liquid threads
By W. Lochte-Holtgreven Institute for Experimental Physics, University of Kiel, Germany Abstract When “exploded” electrically, the energy transfer into thin metallic wires is hindered by an MHD-instability of the type m = O. The development of this instability can be delayed by external magnetic fields or by the use of high potential at the terminals […]
Research on Nuclear Reactions in Exploding (Li + LiD) Wires
Walter Lochte-Holtgreven, Kiel University Z. Naturforsch. 42 a, 538-542 (1987); received February 25, 1987 It is shown that under certain conditions the nuclear reaction 7Li(d, n)2 a occurs within the plasma of “exploding” (Li + LiD)-wires. The reaction is not thermo-nuclear but of a hybrid character, i. e. the plasma is not heated to a […]

Cold Plasmas. 1. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITIES OF SODIUM-AMMONIA SOLUTIONS
* by S. Naiditch Electrical conductivities of sodium-ammonia solutions have been measured from -80 to +185 Ci i.e., most of the liquid range and some of the gaseous range. The objective of these studies is the exploration of the possibility of using such gaseous solutions as plasma sources. The attractive features of these gases Found […]
