A simple model of a metal containing deuterons is considered. The example of palladium is treated in detail. It is shown that the effect of screening of Coulomb fields by conduction electrons is sufficient to allow deuteron pairs to fuse at rates of 10(-30) sec(-1), seven orders of magnitude smaller than those reported by Jones et al. [Jones, S. E., Palmer, E. P., Czirr, J. B., Decker, D. L., Jensen, G. L., Thorne, J. M., Taylor, S. F. & Rafelski, J. (1989) Nature (London) 388, 737-740].
考虑了一个含有氘核的金属的简单模型。钯的例子被详细处理。结果表明,传导电子对库仑场的屏蔽效应足以使氘核对以 10(-30) sec(-1)的速率融合,这比琼斯等人报道的速率小七个数量级。[琼斯,S.E.,帕尔默,E.P.,采尔,J.B.,德克尔,D.L.,詹森,G.L.,索恩,J.M.,泰勒,S.F.和拉费尔斯基,J.(1989)《自然》(伦敦)388,737-740]。
