Fermi-Dirac statistics


"It was also difficult to understand why the emission currents, generated by
applying high electric fields to metals at room temperature, were almost
independent of temperature." From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi-Dirac_distribution

"An electromagnetic (or any other) wave experiences partial transmittance
and partial reflectance when the medium through which it travels suddenly
changes."

Are you sure that the electrons do not jump off from your antennas?
