This theoretical development consists of several aspects of low energy nuclear reactions, involving both established effects (such as the interaction of hydrogen, or deuterium, with defects in a lattice, e.g. palladium) and proposed solid-state effects. A known effect is the lattice concentration of electrons into local charge pairs, turning Coulomb barriers into attractive configurations. In one configuration, the proposed effect is linear defects that, when filled with hydrogen atoms, form internal lattices with no fixed lattice constant. The resulting multi-atom, linear, hydrogen molecule has a unique property shown quantum mechanically to allow di-atomic approach to within fusion dimensions.
