RE: [Vo]:Hydrogen uptake causes molecular “avalanches” in palladiumThe full paper can be found here:
http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/151211/ncomms10092/full/ncomms10092.html It has some application to the questions Jeff D was asking about the determination of charge density—at least relative to a lattice structure. Note the difference expected between a coherent lattice structure and a non-coherent lattice. It suggests that grain boundaries—phase boundaries—may not separate a coherent system. This fact, if true, may be the reason why nano systems work in LENR and larger particle systems do not work. Strong magnetic fields may help create larger coherent systems and allow for local mass energy transformations without the thermal destruction of the coherent system by rapid—instantaneous---distribution of the energy as phonic (kinetic energy) within the coherent system lattice. As the just-reacted-system cools by thermal conduction to adjacent particles, it again reaches a condition that allows the mass transfer reaction to take place. Finally, note how well couched the wording of the Nature document is to avoid the suggestion of any relevance to LENR. The only application suggested directly is with respect to the storage of H in Pd.

Might be relevant for Pd+H systems, and maybe also Ni+H systems. "As the hydrogen is taken up over time, there is eventually a sudden reconfiguration of the hydrogen distribution within the lattice, a process colloquially referred to as “avalanching.” " http://www.anl.gov/articles/hydrogen-uptake-causes-molecular-avalanches-palladium Mats, as far back as 1938, achieving this “sudden reconfiguration” of palladium was known and patented. Ironically, it takes a long time to reach the stage of “sudden” which is one reason why results with palladium electrodes are not assured. http://www.google.com.gh/patents/US2139529
