I just found this article, which is apparently similar to mine (only
the first page is free):

Collins, D, Wlaker J., and Norbury, J,"Deuteron tunneling at electron-
volt energies", Journal of Fusion Energy, VoL 9, No. 4, Dec. 1990, pp
409-411
Abstract: "We speculate on a new mechanism for deuteron-deuteron
fusion reactions at electron-volt energies. Appealing to conservation
principles, it is shown that deuteron tunneling leading to fusion is
very unlikely to take place between two isolated deuterons. It is
argued that in solids, however, tunneling may lead to fusion via a
new reaction mechanism which populates energy levels of 4He, with
simultaneous energy transfer to an electron. Predictions of this
theory are that d+d+e– fusion at electron-volt energies in solids
should lead to copious production of tritium, protium, energetic
electrons, and small quantities of 4He."
At least they only predict small quantities of 4He, which is the
opposite prediction of the deflation fusion model.
