One other post-script. Some people think that Fleischmann is
misinformed about the J-M material, and it could not be their
standard filter palladium, because that has too much silver in it to
work well. Silver does prevent loading, but on the other hand, the
people at BARC did report a

As far as I know they stopped working on it after the IMRA project in
France collapsed. The collapse was mainly caused by a fight over who
would control the intellectual property rights to the palladium. I

Considering Abd's goals, this gives us a lot to think about.
Pd is FCC at 389 pm. Pd atom radius is 137 pm (interesting number
:-). This leaves 115 pm which allows the 102 pm NH3 molecule ideal
for structuring but is challenging for the 188 pm Ar.
I'm gonna sleep on this.
BTW, what is the Van der Waals radius of deuterium? (too lazy to look
it up now.)
I would bet, if you could grow single crystal Pd ( in a NH3
atmosphere), it would load quickly. And if you modulate it with a 26
Mhz signal (lambda = unit cell length), you could have controlled CF.
Or not.

Let me add a post-script. Since 2000, the ENEA researchers have put a lot of
effort into understanding and fabricating palladium. They have done a good
job. I have not made a rigorous comparison, but I think their material now
rivals the best J-M material from the IMRA program. It puts out about
