Modifacation of Pd-H2 and Pd-D2 Thin Films processed by HeNe Laser

Abstract

In this work, we performed experiments of absorption of hydrogen and deuteriumgas by Pd thin films, and we compared the behavior of these samples to unprocessed films. We also employed a continuous wave He–Ne laser to irradiate the samples inside the chamber during the treatment, in order to increase the gas absorption. Using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an electron probe micro-analyzer (EDX), we observed structures like spots on the surface of the treated samples. Inside the spots, elements other than Pd were found. Based on these results, we determined that gas loading is an effective way to transmute elements, and the laser action has been a very effective way to increase morphological changes in the treated samples.
