Abstract
Our study shows that the cross-section for fusion improves considerably if
d-d pairs are located in linear (one-dimensional) chainlets or line defects.
Such nonequilibrium defects can exist only in a solid matrix. Further,
solids harbor lattice vibrational modes (quanta, phonons) whose
longitudinal-optical modes interact strongly with electrons and ions. One
such interaction, resulting in potential inversion, causes localization of
electron pairs on deuterons. Thus, we have attraction of D+ � D- pairs and
strong screening of the nuclear repulsion due to these local electron pairs
(local charged bosons: acronym, lochons). This attraction and strong
coupling permits low-energy deuterons to approach close enough to alter the
standard equations used to define nuclear-interaction crosssections. These
altered equations not only predict that low-energy-nuclear reactions (LENR)
of D+ � D- (and H+ � H-) pairs are possible, they predict that they are
probable.
