Yes, for the 1st question. To the second question, there is nothing against it, but a a pinch is rare occurrence, so, it is unlike that they will happen all close to each other.
Small clusters are in general less bound than lattices. Metallic hydrogen is less bound. So, after you form these nano clusters, it is likely that they will evaporate, decompose. If a cluster of 4 hydrogen detach, it will collapse and fuse. Note the following: part of the vaporizing of the metallic hydrogen fuses. This is what is called *heat-after-death*. It lasts until the metallic hydrogen is vaporized. When it ends, you have to create more metallic hydrogen by turning whatever the device. 2012/7/18 David Roberson <[email protected]> > You mention small spots of superconductivity.
