Crystals like in Pd metal I would consider to be one QM system as long as long as the ionic chemical bonds hold the atoms together. The nuclear magnetic moments of a crystal clearly couple with the electrons in the system. Nano particles, although not as large as a crystals, are also probably a QM system with many atoms. All molecules are QM systems and when close together may have various coupling mechanisms although not of any practical intensity.

In addition, bremsstrahlung radiation is emitted as the alpha slows down. Hagelstrin describes these processes in the papers I attached previously. I suggest you read them. If an alpha is born from a [dd]* resonance in which the mass energy is fractionated among a large number of sinks (e.g., nearby electrons and ion cores), the 4He daughter would have no or almost no energy. There would be the bath of photons from the fractionation, the nearly stationary 4He daughter, and no Bremsstrahlung from collisions by a fast particle. Yes, that is the assumption. The issue is whether that assumption is valid. Can a large number of sinks participate in what is a random process such that they can share mass-energy? Can this collection remain intact for the time required for the process to go to completion. You must assume that a nuclear energy state can form between a large number of atoms in a chemical system. This concept is in conflict with the laws of thermodynamics. Ed Storms Eric
