Thanks Horst:
Good suggestion. For the first generation model I think I will use a uniform charge distribution for Ni over its nuclear radius, and treat the hydrogen as point sources. This will test the modelling process (likely FEA). As a second step, if warranted, we can put in a more complex representation.Doug

Doug, do you need the value of electronic charge density at the atomic core of Ni and H? Such data should be available from atomic structure calculations. I also have an old program that could compute this. I guess that the H atom in the solid is significantly negatively ionized so this value has to be increased.

A put in a few hours searching, and found nothing we didn’t know about already. I think my next step is to model the Coulomb field for the Ni-H structure, as in Rossi’s device, so that is available for a quantum model. The quantum model should give the probability of transmutation, and the new scattering theory may give a idea of the energy available for heating the solid material. Perhaps the two can be merged, with the scattering theory giving before and after states, and the quantum model and connection between the two.

A quick googling showed that many alloys containing Ni and H have been studied. It seems to be more difficult to find a results for a pure NiH structure, although this is a standard material for batteries (or NiMeH with any metal Me). you should look for LAPW calculations and NiH.
