[en] The nuclear fusion data for deuteron-triton resonance near 100 keV are found to be consistent with the selective resonant tunneling model. The feature of this selective resonant tunneling is the selectivity. It selects not only the energy level, but also the damping rate (nuclear reaction rate). When the Coulomb barrier is thin and low, the resonance selects the fast reaction channel; however, when the Coulomb barrier is thick and high, the resonance selects the slow reaction channel. This mechanism might open an approach toward fusion energy with no strong nuclear radiation

[en] While the number of activities was decreasing, the quality of the research activities on cold fusion was improved in the third year. Neutron emissions from the glow discharge tube with flowing deuterium gas are addressed to confirm the anomalous nuclear phenomenon. 'Combined Resonance Tunneling' and the concept of 'Semi-Resonance' are proposed to be the possible mechanism. (author)

[en] The solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is used to describe a phase transition in velocity space. This transition is related to the mode-transition in tokamaks. After the transition the electrostatic potential on a magnetic surface cannot be considered as a constant. (orig.)

[en] The resonance tunneling via lattice-confined ion is quite different from that of beam-target nuclear reaction. Because of the coulomb barrier, only the long life-time nuclear energy level has the chance to be in resonance with the lattice-confined ion. As a result, fast nuclear fusion with a strong neutron radiation can not be induced by this kind of resonance tunneling. It means that obtaining the nuclear fusion energy without the strong neutron radiation is possible

[en] A non-equilibrium statistical phenomenon in a magnetized plasma is discussed. With the two-sphere approximation, the reaction-diffusion equation is solved using the ^boundary layer approximation method^. It shows that the nonlinear positive feedback due to the diffusion term may lead to a non-equilibrium phase transition. It is concluded that the magnetic surface in a tokamak may not be an isobaric surface of constant electrostatic potential

[en] The controversial studies on the anomalous nuclear phenomena in deuterium/solid systems are briefly reviewed based on the progress at home and abroad. Four updated research reports, which were released in the Second Annual Conference on Cold Fusion (Como, Italy), are recapitulated. The elaborate tritium measurement at the 'National Cold Fusion Institute' showed that this anomalous nuclear phenomenon should be seriously explored further

[en] A program of Monte Carlo simulation has been designed to study the positron transport in GaAs. The influences of effective mass, impurity concentration and temperature on positron mobility have been discussed

[en] Tritium production and the nuclear transmutation induced by deuterium flux inside Pd are described in order to illustrate the condensed matter nuclear science. (authors)

[en] Collaboration between chemists and physicists has been essential in the history of scientific discovery. In order to make the discovery more convincible to the main stream of science, we have to have the theoretical prediction verified by the various independent experimental results. The splendid goal of nuclear energy without nuclear contamination has been the motivation of this untiring worldwide effort. The decisive steps are a self-sustaining reactor and the detection of the neutrino emission from the metal-hydrides (deuterides). (authors)

[en] The MHD energy principle is used to examine the stabilization effect of a conducting wall located near the plasma surface. The stabilization effect is maximized when the normal component of the perturbed magnetic field approaches zero (Qsub(n)=0) at the plasma surface. Under this boundary condition, the eigen-equation of the plasma displacement is solved for a two-step flat pressure profile model, which can include both a non-hollow and a hollow pressure profile. Only the rigid m=1 mode is considered due to the finite-Larmor-radius effect. For an isotropic pressure component, it is found that a hollow profile has better stability than a uniform pressure when the integral of the radial pressure profile is fixed. Implications for plasma experiments and fusion reactors are discussed. (author)
