Nuclei transformations in electric discharge conditions

Abstract

The products obtained through a low-energy electric discharge between carbon electrodes in glycerin's water solution are investigated by means of Mass Spectrometry, Raster Electronic Microscopy, and X-ray Fluorescence Analysis. The residue formed during experiment is found to possess chemical composition differing from the initial components by its chemistry and macrostructure. The mechanism and the catalyst of a lowenergy nuclear transformation course are discussed.
