Neutron Emission from Fracture of Piezoelectric Materials in Deuterium Atmosphere

Authors studied nuclear reaction during a fracture process of piezoelectric materials in D2 atmosphere. Neutrons are generated in d-d nuclear reaction through the fracture process of LiNbO3 at the D2 gas pressure of 30 kPa or above; the emission rate is 108 plus/minus 27/h with the statistical signi...

Zusammenfassung:Authors studied nuclear reaction during a fracture process of piezoelectric materials in D2 atmosphere. Neutrons are generated in d-d nuclear reaction through the fracture process of LiNbO3 at the D2 gas pressure of 30 kPa or above; the emission rate is 108 plus/minus 27/h with the statistical significance of 4.0 s, although at 18 kPa or below, neutrons are not generated. Authors have not observed neutrons from other tested piezoelectric materials. 14 refs.
