A useful experiment for MFMP to undertake would be to fabricate 5 micron particles out of the alloy like commercial Cu-Ni-Mn alloy (named Konstantan or ISOTAN 44) treat it with acid to etch each micro particle with an irregular surface. Then produce potassium and hydrogen nanoparticles using a spark discharge.
