Volume 2 - LENR-CANR

If we rewrite the renormalized d-electron plasma frequency with d , we have

and the maximum oscillation amplitude d is about 0.5 Å.
b) The plasma of delocalized s-electrons
The s-electrons are those neutralizing the absorbed deuterons ions in the lattice. They are
delocalised and their plasma frequency depends on the loading ratio (D/Pd percentage). The
formula (28) can also be written as:

As an example, for x=0.5, we have se ~10.7 eV/ħ.
c)The plasma of Pd-ions
Furthermore, we can consider the plasma according to the palladium ions forming the lattice
structure; in this case it is possible to demonstrate that the frequency is (28):

3. The plasmas within D2-loaded palladium
In this section we seek to show what happens when the absorbed deuterium is placed near the
palladium surface. This loading can be enhanced using electrolytic cells or vacuum chambers
working at opportune pressure [9, 10]. By means of Preparata’s theory of Condensed Matter, it
is assumed that there are three phases concerning the D2-Pd system, according to the ratio
x=D/Pd:
