ABSTRACTNi foils and samples consisting of bilayers of Ni or Fe on Al, Ti or Si were implanted at room temperature with 15N+ ions to fluences of around 1×l017 N/cm2. The concentration depth profiles of 15N were determined with nuclear reaction analysis before and after vacuum annealing. It was found that the penetrability for N atoms of the surface and the solid/solid interface plays an important role in the N redistribution during implantation or annealing. The formation of a nitride layer or nitride clusters in Ni and Fe was deduced. Parameters for N migration determined for the metals under investigation are discussed in terms of models.

ABSTRACTA 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.
