In-situ ion beam measurements of deuterium loading in thin foil electrochemical cells
Description
A key element of recent assertions of ''cold fusion'' has been the claim that electrochemical loading of deuterium into Pd electrodes can produce D:Pd levels exceeding 1:1. Using external beam nuclear reaction analysis of Pd foil electrodes in operating electrochemical cells, we have directly monitored deuterium content in-situ. No conditions were found which resulted in loadings higher than ∼0.9. 15 refs., 5 figs
