The effect on conductivity of increasing loading of hydrogen in Pd,
and its relation to temperature, i.e. the effects of electron
fugacity, was discussed on pages 6-9 of:

It should not be a surprise to find similar effects in other
conducting lattices. The included references are important. See:

As the conduction bands become filled with electrons that are in
effect ionically bound to absorbed hydrogen, motion of one electron
necessarily requires the synchronized motion of other electrons. As
loading progresses, and conduction bands are filled, electrons cease
to operate as a kinetic gas, and are forced to operate in harmony,
more like an incompressible liquid. This permits an energy focusing
effect, which can be utilized by changing the surface potential in a
negative direction, i.e. by adding more electrons.

It seems increasingly apparent to me that the fundamental causation
of the Rossi effect is an abundance of cooper pairs of protons at
the surface of the nickel nano-powder. These “quantum mechanical
holes” explain how radioactive nickel reaction products are avoided
in the transmutation of nickel to copper as recently explained by
H. Heffner here at vortex.
Acting as a semi-conductor, the increase in the quantity of these
coherent cooper pairs of protons as the reaction temperature
increases at the surface of the nano-powder directly corresponds to
the Negative Temperature Coefficient of conductivity as observed by
Francesco Celani.
Such phenomenon: increase in the quantity of these coherent cooper
pairs of protons, is correlated with heat production and increases
in direct proportion as the production of anomalous heat increases.
Nano-powder produces proton “holes” at the center of each nano-
granule, a well know phenomena. The absorption of hydrogen quantum
mechanically organizes these protons to create coherent cooper
pairs of protons which serve as potent charge carriers at the
surface of the nano-powder.
In other words, the increase in electrical conductivity is a direct
measure of the abundance of proton cooper pairs. In the same way
that electron cooper pairs support superconnectivity, proton cooper
pairs reverse Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) of the
resistance to a semi-conductive negative resistance regime when
large amounts of Hydrogen are absorbed by nickel nano-powder
thereby adding a sort of superconducting like quantum mechanical
coherence to the nano-powder.

I wonder if a Negative Temperature Coefficient is more than a marker
of "cold fusion"
but is also a precondition for "cold fusion". It might be easier to
create a NTC on a surface
instead of inside a material and this might explain why powders have
been better at
producing heat consistently.
