Catalytic mechanism of LENR in quasicrystals based on localized anharmonic vibrations and phasons
Volodymyr Dubinko, Denis Laptev, Klee Irwin
Quasicrystals (QCs) are a novel form of matter, which are neither crystalline nor amorphous. Among many surprising properties of QCs is their high catalytic activity. We propose a…

Quantum dynamics of wave packets in a nonstationary parabolic potential and the Kramers escape rate theory
Vladimir I. Dubinko, Denis V. Laptev, Alexander S. Mazmanishvili +1
At sufficiently low temperatures, the reaction rates in solids are controlled by quantum rather than by thermal fluctuations. We solve the Schrödinger equation for a Gaussian wave…

Chemical and nuclear catalysis driven by localized anharmonic vibrations
V. I. Dubinko, D. V. Laptev
In many-body nonlinear systems with sufficient anharmonicity, a special kind of lattice vibrations, namely, Localized Anharmonic Vibrations (LAV) can be excited either thermally or…
