Abstract
We calculate the deuteron potential and the probability for cold nuclear synthesis for deuterium in the TiD2 compound and its alloys with 3d-period elements. In the band model of a deuteron gas in a solid we examine the influence of the diffusion currents on the reaction rate. We show that by itself being in the solid state the Coulomb barrier for nuclear reactions is lowered in comparison with the deuterium gas. However, in a solid a necessary condition is the presence of physical processes and fields which lead to a nonequilibrium state for the deuterium subsystem.
