About this Research Topic
Significant number of solids interact with hydrogen isotopes as normally it is based on interaction of the atoms of these isotopes with the solid structures (atoms in both crystal lattices and clusters) as it
pertains to both ordered and disordered solids. Excess energy release has been observed in the most of these interactions as in most of the cases this release has been unexpected and new theoretical methods and models have been considered as needs for explanations of the observed experimental results. The excess energy releases were found in interactions of ions of hydrogen isotopes with solid electrodes in electrolysis of both light and heavy waters and also in interaction of gasses of hydrogen isotopes with solid specimens. The achieved results determine both types of interactions to be considered as very important in the light of further development of novel clean energy technologies.
The goal of the special journal issue is to present to the world audience the recent achievements in the field of materials science pertaining to the interaction of matter with hydrogen isotopes. A special goal is energy release in this interaction and the side outcomes such as both the nature and the amounts of the released chemical elements, release or not of radiation including radioactivity, the amount of the released energy if there is any, the time of the energy release, etc. Other goal is the physics of interaction of the hydrogen isotopes with the matter, i.e., the physical mechanism of interaction of the atoms of hydrogen isotopes with the atoms of the matter. It is expected that both experimental results and theoretical models pertaining to the interaction to have a place in the special journal issue. Also, the anticipation is that important experimental results, which can be technological basis for development of novel “green” energy sources, to be presented as in this way this journal
issue will address the climate change.
