"CHANNELING, SUPERFOCUSING, AND NUCLEAR REACTIONS" - Yu N. Demkov http://144.206.159.178/FT/8304/558634/11919154.pdf While it discusses the extreme focusing of ~1 MeV proton wave-functions, perhaps particles/ions in micro-/nano-channels in zeolites, nano-crevices, nanostructures, ..., experience more wave-function focusing than expected - possibly increasing tunneling probability by dramatically increasing overlap of channel particle wave-functions. Peter Hagelstein recently noted that fusion probability is directly related to wave-function overlap, and it is certainly responsible for muon-catalyzed fusion, electron-capture, etc. An excerpt from the paper: "... The radius of this focus can be in principle very small, less than 10^−2 nm. This looks fantastically small and is even less than the thermal vibrational amplitude of a single atom in the lattice. Such a possibility occurs because the geometrical position of the channel relative to the lattice can be defined much better than the position of a single atom in a lattice which can be estimated by the amplitude of its thermal vibrations. This is also connected with the long-range order within the lattice and with essential coupling of this order with the channel. So we have a needle-like focusing area where the flux density of particles increases hundreds and even thousand times relative to the initial one outside of the lattice! Such an unprecedented sharpness of the focusing peak allows us to call this effect the super-focusing ..." -- Lou Pagnucco Peter Gluck wrote: > Can this: > > Nanoscopic Microcavities Offer Newfound Control in Light Filtering: Unique > Nanostructure Produces Novel 'Plasmonic Halos': > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130207150907.htm?goback=%2Egde_1807453_member_212276134 > be of any use/inspirtion for Ed Storms' LENR theory? > > Peter > > > -- > Dr. Peter Gluck > Cluj, Romania > http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com >
