Summary of Theory
Talbot Chubb's theory fits in the category of ion band states. Chubb proposes a metal-catalyzed nuclear fusion theory in which deuterons (pn nuclei) diffusing
through a metal encounter 10-nm domains with gem-quality lattice order and adopt the local geometry of the metal electrons.
They form spin-zero deuteron pairs neutralized by spin-zero electron pairs,
which have a resonant standing-wave configuration (no Coulomb barrier).
Wavelike deuteron pairs change into wavelike helium-4 nuclei with (pn,pn) nuclear geometry. The (pn,pn) helium-4 subsequently decays to (pp,nn) helium-4, which is nuclearly stable. Energy is transferred to bulk metal electrons by
multiple electron scatterings (momentum transfers) and/or lattice vibration
excitations (phonons).
