By the way, Anderson localization will concentrate degenerate electrons near cracks in a metal lattice. This will catalyze the formation of proton crystals within the cracks as seen by Miley in his experimentation.
Ed Storm said this about Miley’s experimentation in “Edmund Storms / Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science 9 (2012) 1–22:” A source of screening electrons has been suggested to exist between two materials having different work functions, the so-called swimming electron theory [85–87]. These electrons are proposed to reduce the Coulomb barrier and explain the transmutation observations reported by Miley [88,89]. Unfortunately, this theory ignores how the required number of protons can enter the available nuclei in the sample without producing radioactive isotopes, which are seldom detected. Miley et al. [90] try to avoid this problem by creating another problem. Their mechanism involves formation of a super-nucleus of 306X126 from a large cluster of H and D. This structure then experiences various fission reactions. The cluster is proposed to form as local islands of ultra dense hydrogen [91] using Rydberg-like process [92]. Why so many deuterons would spontaneously form a cluster in a lattice in apparent violation of the Laws of Thermodynamics has not been explained. The SE effect may be the explanation.
