Dissipation of chemical energy released in exothermic reactions at metal surfaces may
happen adiabatically by creation of phonons or non-adiabatically by excitation of the …

Prior to large earthquakes the Earth sends out transient signals, sometimes strong, more
often subtle and fleeting. These signals may consist of local magnetic field variations …

The state of experiments quantifying the significance of non-adiabatic effects in dynamical
processes at metal surfaces is reviewed. It is discussed to which extent these effects can be …

The aim of this paper is to present a new approach to the mechanism of tribocatalytic
reactions induced by mechanical forces. The new concept is based on the authors' previous …

Elusive as dark matter particles are, they are not the only entities that can produce small
energy releases deep inside the most sensitive detectors. Cosmogenic and residual …

The potential involvement of electron− hole pair excitations in atomic/molecular processes
such as sticking/adsorption/dissociation at metal surfaces has long been debated …

Rydberg spectroscopy of rubidium cold atoms trapped in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) was
performed in a quartz cell. When electric fields acting on the atoms generated by a plate …

Telluric currents are natural electrical phenomena in the Earth or its bodies of water. The
strongest electric currents are related to lightning phenomena or space weather. Earth …

Electron emission during thermal stimulation has been studied before in some detail, but
there has been less work on the optically stimulated signal, especially in natural dosimeters …

Friksjon og slitasje mellom overflater i kontakt og relativ bevegelse er viktige kilder til
energitap som kan reduseres gjennom bruk av smøremidler. Moderne, flytende smøremidler …
