Is this a confirmed effect, or one that has been hypothesized? I'm reminded of my drawing of what I think might be going on in LENR, where such an effect might be relevant: http://i.imgur.com/PoRGR7G.png (Also relevant in this model would be the accumulation of charge at the left hand side, due to the blocking of the protons once they get to the recess in the surface of the metal grain.)
