Dear Jones, I suspect that it will take a convergence of ideas to solve the CF problem. I haven't the time, presently, to come up to speed on Jurg's model (I may have to make the time at some point).
I was unaware that spintronics can increase the effective mass of electrons. However, I suspect that is in the context of a lattice; if so, such an increase would not be surprising. Just as charged particles are trapped in the Van Allen belts by "mirroring" in the Earth's mag field gradient, this could happen to conduction electrons within a lattice. This would certainly add to the increase in effective mass from the E-field barriers of the lattice. Right now, I am toying with Jean-Luc Paillet's concept of ~100 MeV relativistic electrons in deep orbits to act as muons and pions and a potential source of nuclear forces. As a consequence of deep-orbit interactions (e.g., spin-spin interaction between nucleons, quarks, and electrons), we may be able to understand the additional SS interactions, if a second such electron (or a positron) is present (as I suspect may be the case in the structure of neutrons - or even quarks). I would not be surprised if Holmlid's work (and spintronics) can contribute to new (or, at least, modified) models of nuclear and atomic physics.
