Fusion reaction within a microcrack in a crystalline lattice at room temperature

This communication presents the results obtained analysing the reaction of deuteron fusion, catalysed by the plasmons in crystalline lattices with cubic structure, on varying the temperature. The enhancement of the tunnelling effect, a consequence of increasing the temperature and the concentration of impurities, suggests the hypothesis that a sort of chain reaction favored by the microcracks formed in the structure as a result of lattice deformation, could promote the process. This result could be interpreted considering the trend of the potential which describes the effective interaction between deuterons within the metal: in effect it shows that the coupling of plasmons and deuterons, in the presence of impurities, can not only reduce the thickness but also lower the height of the Coulomb barrier K
