This will allow the merger of Axil’s ZPE/ black-hole thread with this one… not to mention the “strongly correlated material” angle … Speaking of odd merger candidates … such as combining LENR with SmB6, this turned up http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00836972#page-1 As it happens, nickel forms an unusual alloy with SmB6. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another interesting rare earth hexaboride is that of lanthanum. This is a low work function thermionic emitter – which would probably work with LENR for direct conversion of heat to electricity. Hasan is the most read researcher in the field. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=true&arnumber=6572545 From: CB Sites Samarium hexaboride (SmB6) is certainly one of the weirdest materials. It's so weird, that I have it written on my office door.
