Yes, in my view, the DDL state diatomic hydrogen (shrunken hydrogen)
reacts with Ni58. Should both atoms be in shrunken state?
Yes, that would seem to be highly beneficial. The reaction looks less like a
three-body reaction if it happens with a tight DDL molecule, which is
possibly in the 10s of Fermi size range.
Is the DDL small enough to go in the lattice?
Easily. The beauty of nickel as the host - from the Rydberg orbital
viewpoint, is that it has two orbitals which are located at very good match
in energy level for the correct "hole", both of which are in its valence
band at IP5 and IP6 ! This would essentially permit the DDL molecule, which
has two electrons of a set Rydberg value, to find stability inside the shell
- by replacing two normal electrons of nickel at a moderately deep level.
Very few proton conductors have two deep orbitals which are adjoining in
Rydberg values. Curiously, cobalt and iron are the others. This means any
ferromagnetic material could be substituted for some of the nickel and host
the DDL. From there, the excursion of the DDL to the nucleus on an
occasional basis would seem to be highly favored. Only nickel has the
neutron deficient isotope, however.
As you can see, this is a mix of Mills CQM, the DDL version of other
theorists and a few new additions. It would not require that excess energy
is given up in shrinkage, as does Mills theory, since the progression goes
to fusion eventually, which never happens according to CQM. This version
does "borrow" the idea that the orbital electrons must have Rydberg values
if they are to give up a proper "hole" for substitution (with the two
electrons of the DDL).
But AFAIK - Mills has not recognized the novelty of this suggestion, which
is that "adjoining holes" in the valence shell of a ferromagnetic element
like nickel, is the special parameter for LENR. Why would he? ...since he
denies LENR is real, it has not occurred to him. In fact he uses other
metals besides nickel these days instead in his own experiments. Maybe he
intentionally avoids nickel :-)
