Hi Dave,

>> also be referring to some kind of photoelectric effect (i.e. sun heating

	Heating is not generally considered a 'photoelectric'	effect.

That is correct, but radiation heating is technically a photoelectric effect
nonetheless.  Anything that emits or absorbs photons is part of the
photoelectric process.  And indeed, electricity is transmitted through heat
just as it is with radio waves, visible light, X-rays, and gamma rays.

	Check NIST papers,  Likely been done.

You're right I should check NIST.
