Btw, for those who are interested, here is a drawing I put together to give a sense of this particular idea: http://i.imgur.com/LTGzr1L.png The blue is the electron charge density. Presumably such a spike is a transient occurrence, lasting only for a moment. It might be possible to get very high (arbitrarily high?) charge densities in localized regions for brief periods of time under nonequilibrium conditions. Eric
