Here are some marginally connected observations which could be relevant to CNT (carbon nano tubes) as the active matrix in LENR, when irradiated by SPP. A prediction also can be derived as to what spectrum to look for as a signature of CNT anomalous gain.
The carbon-carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers. Since there are 6 of these bonds in one complete circuit around the ring but the electron path is not uniform ... the effective length of the electrical circuit for ring current could be near one nm in graphene. We can use that value as a convenient starter. There are no losses in ring current ... so can it not be considered superconductive at a local level? In normal graphene, antiferromagnetic tendencies wash out the possibility of a net effect in developing a strong magnetic field, since an systemic alignment mechanism is absent. With CNT this would be different. BTW - a photon of 3 x 10^17 Hz, or 300 PHz (PetaHertz) which is on the borderline of EUV and X-ray corresponds to this wavelength (1 nm). This is about 1240 eV as we know from hc. This level of mass-energy as a photon, 1240 eV would be undetectable by most radiation monitors, and is thus consistent with a resonant LENR emission. This value for a photon, or a value closer to 1 keV, could turn up as a signature for CNT LENR. Ring currents could create a large axial effective magnetic field in CNT when first aligned by even a weak PM. However think about the polarities. There are many ring current sites around the circumference of the CNT, and these would be alternating in polarity. The net effect of this geometry is that field lines down the center of the CNT would be focused and compressed by ring currents as if they were typical focusing magnets in a beam line. These resultant axial magnetic fields of CNT could be immense, so as to accelerate free electrons which ventured into the tubes to very high velocity, especially with help from Casimir exclusion. Now the stage is set for feedback leading to coherency. Using the definition of ~6×10^18 electrons per second constituting one amp and one mole being of ~6 X10^23 elementary entities, and the frequency being PHz due to SPP, then it is possible that each gram of carbon could supply Peta-Amps-turns to internal magnetic uses. Even if one carbon ring per million is operational, very large net energy effects are possible via accelerated electrons. Photons are created from Bremsstrahlung at the resonance level around a keV and coherency develops. For any photon to be converted into DC in such a way as to amplify ring current, it is fair to assume that it must be resonant within a narrow limit of the circuit length. It could then be possible for some kind of mutual coherency to develop in a feedback loop between the CNT, acting as nano-accelerators of electrons, and photons created from Bremsstrahlung at the resonance level around 1240 eV or less. Knowing this exact value would be highly advantageous in the design of a proper resonant device. More details to follow ...
