Don't bother. I followed the pointer provided by someone else to the full paper. Having browsed through it, I still see no reference to IRH. I suspect that when they talk about electron capture by the plates, they are referring to the electron simply entering the conduction band of the metal, and I'm not sure whether or not conduction band electrons should be considered "stuck". Perhaps so, in as much as if you push one in one end of a wire, another pops out the other end, which gives the impression of a "rigid soup" (the sort your spoon will stand up in ;^) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
