Solid State-Nuclear Physics as a basis of the TNCF Model

Plan of the Solid State-Nuclear Physics

Solid State-Nuclear Physics

Nuclear Physics

Excited state of neutrons in medium Z nuclei; _ZX (₂₂Ti, ₂₈Ni, ₄₆Pd)

High density of excited levels at the near zero energy (the separation level)

Nuclear reactions in free space

Solid State Physics

Transition-metal hydrides and deuterides; TiD₂, NiH, PdH(D)

Elastic properties of the crystals,

Diffusion characteristics of protons and deuterons

H-H, H-Pd interactions in crystals,

Atomic processes in crystals

Solid State-Nuclear Physics

p–X and d–X soft interaction in transition-metal hydrides and deuterides

n–n super-nuclear interaction mediated by occluded protons and deuterons

Neutron valence bands formed by the super-nuclear interaction

Local coherence of neutron Bloch waves at boundary regions

Thin neutron liquid and Neutron drop (= Neutron reservoir) formation in boundary regions

Cold fusion phenomenon (CFP) = Results of nuclear reactions in contact with the neutron reservoir (dilute neutron liquid and neutron drops)

Phenomenological Approach

Trapped neutron catalyzed fusion model (TNCF model) with an adjustable parameter n_n and several premises based on experimental facts.
