Quantum crystals are at odds with the laws of thermodynamics

François Fillaux

Experimental data and the principles of quantum mechanics suggest that a crystal is a condensate of `wavicles' enclosed in a box, where `wavicle' denotes the indefinite wave-partic…

Neutron scattering studies of KH(SO and KD(SO: The particle-in-a-box model for the quantum phase transition

François Fillaux, Alain Cousson

In the crystal of KH(SO, or KD(SO, dimers (SOH(SO, or (SOD(SO, are linked by strong centrosymmetric hydrogen or deuterium…

A neutron diffraction study from 6 to 293 K and a macroscopic-scale quantum theory of the hydrogen bonded dimers in the crystal of benzoic acid

François Fillaux, A. Null Cousson

The crystal of benzoic acid is comprised of tautomeric centrosymmetric dimers linked through bistable hydrogen bonds. Statistical disorder of the bonding protons is excluded by neu…

Evidence of macroscopically entangled protons in a mixed isotope crystal of KHDCO

François Fillaux, Alain Cousson, Matthias J. Gutmann

We examine whether protons and deuterons in the crystal of KHDCO at 300 K are particles or matter waves. The neutron scattering function measured over a broad…

Where are Protons and Deuterons in KH_pD_{1-p}CO_3? A Neutron Diffraction Study

François Fillaux, Alain Cousson

The crystals of potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO3) and the KDCO3 analogue are isomorphous. They are composed of hydrogen or deuterium bonded centrosymmetric dimers (HCO3-)(2) or…

Nonlocal protons and deuterons opposed to disorder: a single-crystal neutron diffraction study of KH0.76D0.24CO3 and a theoretical framewok

François Fillaux, Alain Cousson

We show with neutron diffraction that a single-crystal of potassium hydrogen deuterium carbonate at room temperature, namely KHDCO, is isomorphous with the KH…
