I'm glad to see a paper by Mizuno. But this paper raises an
interesting question, Are nanoparticles the NAE?
I personally believe nanoparticles alone are inert. However,
particles of a critical size are the HOST for the NAE. In other words,
the nano-gap I propose to be the NAE grows in a particle and the
particle size determines the size of the gap. After all, CF has been
found to occur under a variety of conditions, including in complete
absence of nanoparticles. However, nano-gaps can form in any material,
but not frequently with the correct dimension.
The power being generated is determined by the number NAE present. The
better the material is able to create nano-gaps, the more power will
be produced. Use of small particles improves this ability.
Consequently, I'm suggesting that people should not focus on the
particle itself but on what is happening within the particle. Unless
the NAE is produced within the particle, the particle is inert no
matter what size it has.

Eric, ion bombardment has a rich literature containing 90 references
in my library. You need to read this before speculation is useful.
Ion bombardment can produce either hot fusion and/or cold fusion,
depending on the conditions and applied energy. Low energy favors
cold fusion if the NAE is present and high energy favors hot fusion
without a NAE.
At ICCF18 I will be presenting a poster session paper by Mizuno
showing that ion bombardment iteself can create the NAE. It produces
nanoparticles on wires subjected to glow discharge for about 3 days.
He has SEM photos and excess heat results showing this.
Mizuno himself cannot attend.
