Harry-- Frenchette--the new reporter of the MIT seminar, stated the following: "In the case of nickel the hydrogen forms tight clusters. It does not occupy the voids in the lattice as in palladium. This may explain the higher temperatures which are observed with the Hot Cat. (my conjecture)"
I doubt that the D occupies the voids in the Pd lattice. The Pd would have to have a lot of voids to get the loading Pd:D of .85 and higher. The D must occupy cubic spaces in the center of the Pd face-centered crystaline cell. These spaces would not normally be called voids. My thought at hearing the same comment from Hagelstine about the clusters of H in the Ni was that they may be BEC's consistent with what Kim thinks.
