並列タイトル等Theoretical Study on the Condensed States of Deuterons Trapped at Defects in Hydrogen-Storing Metals
一般注記It is well known that some metals can accumulate hydrogen or its isotope in high concentration. In this work, quantum states of hydrogen in metals are studied theoretically. Nonlinear screening efect is taken into account using density functional formalism. This efect has an important role in this problem because it cuts of the long tale of Coulomb interaction between hydrogen ions. As a calculated result, the minimum distance between two deuterons in Pd are 0.66Å, which is smaller than the value for the molecule 0.74Å. This suggests that d-d nuclear fusions may happenin Pd. However the distance 0.66Å is too large to penetrate the potential barrier by tunneling. The tendency of deuterons to clump as the Bose particle has more important role in this problem. The Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) may induce nuclear reactions in solids. The equlvalent linear two-body method is used for the calculation and condensed states of deuterons in Pd are obtained. As a result, the critical temperature of BEC is about 150K for the case of trapped deuterons in vacancy cluster in Pd.
