Kinetics of Reactions of Heavy Hydrogen
THE publication, recently, of two notes1 concerning the reaction of heavy hydrogen and oxygen at elevated temperatures suggests that it may be of interest to mention briefly experiments which have been in progress in this laboratory during the past few months and which have had for their object the possible confirmation or elucidation of the mechanism of some chain reactions. A search has also been made for examples of reactions involving the quantum mechanical leakage of H and of D atoms through potential barriers.
