A metal deuteride and process for its formation in which the deuteride atoms (28) are loaded or stored in palladium (26) to a level which induces a Jahn-Teller degeneracy effect resulting in a symmetry breaking of the lattice structure that places selected deuterium atoms in sufficiently close approximation to create usable levels of fusion as an energy and/or neutron source. The palladium is placed in an environment, in which deuterium atoms are loaded into the palladium cell by electrolysis, implantation or diffusion technologies, to a loading ratio of one or slightly above at which point a symmetry breakage occurs from the degeneracy resulting from the existence of matched electron orbital energies in a D-D bonding relationship in which the orbitals assume different energy levels. This shift is coupled to the deuterium nuclei forcing them into closer association as a part of the symmetry breaking effect. |
