Journal of Alloys and Compounds
I've just noticed an article by you and JS Holder in Journal of Alloys and Compounds from 2007 re tritium and adsorption. I was intending to ask on CF talk about the role of adsorption in metal hydrogen systems in CF claimed results. Are you aware of anomalies re adsorption that could be attributed to CF as a possibility? (I'm surprised by the lack of a wikiarticle to that journal).--188.27.144.144 (talk) 10:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I have a lot more publications like that. If you enter "KL Shanahan" in Google Scholar, you can see many of them.  As it turns out I have a lot of experience that applies to the CF field beyond working with the materials.
 * The whole mechanism of H ab- and adsorption into metal hydrides begins with adsorption on the surface, usually as atomic hydrogen. The H atoms then transition into the absorbed state and move to the interior of the metal if possible.  Some metals don't absorb hydrogen.  There are no anomalies that I know of suggesting CF (or LENR) is real.  It does seem however that there is a Fleischmann-Pons-Hawkins Effect (FPHE), which produces artificial excess energy signals in F&P-type electrochemical cells, based on under-the-surface recombination at the electrode(s).
