Notes:
It was found that various gaseous atoms can be easily implanted into metal powders under ultrasonic cavitation inside a vessel with water (H2O,D2O or a mixture thereof). Inert gases (3He, 4He, Ne, and Ar) and others (N2, air, H2, and D2) were strongly sonoimplanted into metals such as Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zr, Pd, Ag, Ta, Pt, and Au, which were originally set in the vessel as foils, and were broken into ultrafine metal powders during intense ultrasonic processing. A large amount of implanted atoms was verified to exist in these powders from mass spectroscopic analyses. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
