| Abstract: | In the framework of anomalous effects coming out because very close interaction of some specific gas [usually Deuterium (D), some times hydrogen (H)] with some specific solid materials [usually Palladium (Pd), some times Nickel or others] is an emerging evidence that the physical condition at the surface of the host element play a crucial role. It has been experimentally demonstrated, by Yoshiaki Arata at Osaka University, that nano-particles of Pd, embedded in a matrix of ZrO2, are able to absorb extremely large amounts of H and/or D, at even room temperature and pressure. Because of such results, we re-analyzed some of our previous experiments under the new point of view and were convinced that most of our "positive" results in Condensed Matter Nuclear Science come because of lucky, specific condition of our Pd cathode. We decided to improve the quality of Pd, from the point of view of production of nanostructure at its surface as large (and stable) as possible, in a controllable way, using both electrolytic procedure and special preparation of Pd before the use. Some of our efforts seemed to give positive results, although the stability at long time as to be improved. | |
