 | | In Condensed Matter Nuclear Science one of the principal problems to be faced is the overcoming of the Coulomb barrier between nuclei, a question that from a theoretical point of view severely challenges experimental claims of low energy nuclear reactions. |
 | | In 1992 Cerofolini proposed a model, the binuclear atom, that supposed the existence of excited states, normally accessible at energies available during chemical reactions, electrochemical experiments and ion implantation tests, in which nuclei are, in a counterintuitive manner, at a shorter distance than in normal ground state [1]. |
 | | The internuclear Coulomb repulsion can thus be counterbalanced by this stabilizing electronic energy contribution keeping the total energy of such configuration relatively low. |
