RE: [Vo]: Conventional dense hydrogen and LiH6Jones-- Have you seen any data on the dimension of the dense hydrogen nuclei in the Li or Iron alloy?
The Li lattice dimension may be smaller than the corresponding Fe dimensions, and, if the hydrogen clusters occur inside a lattice cell of Li, the approach of the hydrogen nuclei to each other may induce a reaction with appropriate added stimulation. The Holmlid experiment involving a plasma would not seem to benefit from the confines afforded by a metallic lattice structure in supporting a LENR reaction.

The chief investigator is Swiss - Charles Pépin https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01204564/ Surprisingly both iron and lithium figure into his approach – which is a “brute force” methodology using a diamond anvil (in addition to the laser). This work can only add credibility to Holmlid, although it is not the same. Holmlid’s is more spectacular and also more controversial. “Synthesis and characterization hydrides high pressure light elements” Charles Pépin Summary: These last 5 years many theoretical work has revealed the existence of a new chemistry between hydrogen and metals under pressure. >From these predictions it is possible to identify three main trends … Such systems with high concentrations of hydrogen can become metallic at much lower pressures than those needed for hydrogen and could present a high-temperature superconductivity…. At first a new method for the synthesis of high quality and high purity sample has been developed: a metallic sheet is heated to a high pressure in the presence of hydrogen using a YAG laser. Using this method the …. Iron hydrides (FeHx) were synthesized in a high pressure diamond anvil cell. These compounds were characterized in situ in our laboratory and by Raman spectroscopy using synchrotron light sources by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction Our results highlight the influence of hydrogen subnet the physical properties of hydrides and confirm the existence of a strong analogy between the pure hydrogen and hydrides with a high concentration of hydrogen. More stability to high pressure new polyhydrides was confirmed through the synthesis of novel hydrides of iron and by the formation of new lithium hydrides, LiH2 and LiH6
