IMHO, it is the crystal structure of the material that makes a molecule LENR active, That structure and placement of the atoms in the crystal formats the spin of the material to project forward anisotropy to concentrate and organize the spin in a concentrated direction...forward.
SmCo is an anisotropic magnetic material. The magnetic beam energy is concentrated in a preferred direction.
