Forgot to mention that in Chromium, which is hexavalent, the net enthalpy of going to the IP3 ionic level appears to be 6.8 + 16.5 + 31 eV = 54.3 eV (actually slightly less that 54.4 eV but perhaps close enough for gov'm't or BLP work) ... Hexavalency is an unusual property - in the most fam

Perhaps the most important "exotic" active materials available at moderate cost to independent researchers, for investigating energy anomalies, are the so-called "half-metals" : specifically the half-metallic transition metal oxides. At one time, metal oxides were all lumped together as cerami
