We present a model which could help in explaining cold fusion processes on the basis of a lattice collapse in a deuterated metal. We shall show that a thermodynamic instability can, under favourable conditions, trigger a coherent and concentric displacement flow in the metal, which can accumulate in a small region the excess elastic energy originally distributed in an expanded domain. Conditions allowing nuclear fusion processes can thus be created.

Abstract
We present a model which could help in explaining cold fusion processes on the basis of a lattice collapse in a deuterated metal. We shall show that a thermodynamic instability can, under favourable conditions, trigger a coherent and concentric displacement flow in the metal, which can accumulate in a small region the excess elastic energy originally distributed in an expanded domain. Conditions allowing nuclear fusion processes can thus be created.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
