| Abstract: | Two types of activities occurring within the polarized D+/Pd–D2O system, viz. the presence of localized heat sources (hot spots) and associated with them mini-explosions, are described. The “birth and death” of hot spots is monitored by IR imaging while the mini-explosions are displayed by the voltage spikes exhibited by a piezoelectric substrate onto which a Pd/D film was co-deposited. Processes leading to the formation of unstable domains as a precursor to the observed behavior is examined. | |
