Abstract

Formation of the neutron valence bands (NVB) below zero in transition-
metal hydrides is verified by quantum mechanical calculation of
interaction between lattice nuclei and occluded protons or deuterons.
The local coherence of neutron Bloch waves in the NVB results in
formation of high-density neutron liquid (NL) and neutron drops (ND)
in boundary regions. The NL and ND interact with lattice nuclei,
protons (or deuterons) and minor nuclei in boundary regions to produce
cold fusion phenomenon (CFP) in which large change of nucleon and
proton numbers of nuclei occur with dissipating channels of liberated
energy rather than gamma emission
