Resumo
The Fleischmann and Pons Effect (FPE) is the appearance of anomalous excess heat during
electrolytic loading of hydrogen in metal. Although observed well above measurement
uncertainties [1] this effect still remains unexplained. Unlike previous studies where
hydrogen (H) was pre-loaded before Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlations
(TDPAC) [2,3] was performed, this present work probes, at the nanoscopic scale, palladium
(Pd) samples during H and deuterium (D) loading in 0.1M LiOH or LiOD electrolyte.
Radioactive 181Hf (181Ta) was implanted at 80 keV (HISKP-Bonn) and experiments were
performed at the ISOLDE-CERN SSP laboratories after vacuum annealing to recover
implantation defects. An almost “flat” unperturbed PAC – R(t) spectrum was observed, as
expected for Hf/Ta atoms at cubic Pd sites with no remaining point defects in their vicinity.
Upon D loading the “flat” unperturbed R(t) spectrum changes to a characteristic
Gaussian-like EFG distribution, centered near zero EFG, due to the random distribution of D
atoms inside the Pd lattice. With increasing D concentration, the central value of the
distribution becomes nonzero, thus revealing that the Pd crystalline structure is relaxed
from cubic, consistent with the phase diagram for Pd hydrides. The data also shows that,
while being an impurity in the system under study, the Hf/Ta atoms do not trap nor
significantly interfere with the H/D atoms in the Pd lattice that would bias the present
studies. Thus, further experiments aimed at studying the FPE under external excitations are
envisaged.
