Abstract[English]
The present invention relates to methods and procedures to creating areas of high concentrations of HYDROGEN within solids. These methods utilize extremely strong electric fields that exists at the INTERFACE area between PRIMARY SOLIDs and SECONDARY SOLIDs that each have different work function values. Prescribed types of solids allow absorbed HYDROGEN atoms to migrate to the INTERFACE area, followed by the ionization of HYDROGEN atoms within this area. The strong electric field will concentrate HYDROGEN ions with an extreme high density within the INTERFACE area. A suitable FULLY ENCLOSED INTERFACE area prevents the escape of accumulated HYDROGEN ions from the INTERFACE area, safeguarding that accumulation of ions continues until the desired density of HYDROGEN ions has been reached.[French]
La présente invention concerne des procédés et des procédures pour créer des zones de concentrations élevées d'hydrogène à l'intérieur de solides. Ces procédés utilisent des champs électriques extrêmement puissants qui existent au niveau de la zone d'interface entre des solides primaires et des solides secondaires qui ont chacun des valeurs de fonction de travail différentes. Des types prescrits de solides permettent à des atomes d'hydrogène absorbés de migrer vers la zone d'interface, puis d'être ionisés à l'intérieur de cette zone. Le champ électrique puissant concentrera les ions hydrogène avec une densité élevée extrême à l'intérieur de la zone d'interface. Une zone d'interface entièrement enfermée appropriée empêche la fuite d'ions hydrogène accumulés à partir de la zone d'interface, ce qui garantit que l'accumulation d'ions continue jusqu'à ce que la densité souhaitée d'ions hydrogène ait été atteinte.
