Copper Antenna Bias

From the post "Most Penetrating X ray, Boron" dated 20 Jan 2018,

\(V_{min}=\cfrac{1}{2}\cfrac{M}{qN_A}\left(3.4354*\cfrac{density}{Z}\right)^2\)

for copper,

\(V_{min}=\cfrac{1}{2}*\cfrac{63.546}{6.0221*10^{23}*1.6021*10^{-19}*10^{3}}*\left(3.4354*\cfrac{8960}{29}\right)^2\)

What is this good for?


If basic particles are created at the end of \(0.371\,V\) per meter of copper, then as an antenna, coupled to a signal source at a DC bias of \(V=0.371\,V\), that end will have an accumulation of charged particles.  Is it more effective as an antenna for both transmitting and receiving?

Note:  Bare copper is expected to oxidize quickly under the same condition.  Maybe the copper can be coated with a suitable resins to prevent oxidation.
