On the Transformation of Light into Heat in Solids. II

Frenkel, J.·1931·Physical Review

Abstract

The results arrived at in a preceding paper are generalized for diatomic crystals (\textsection{}\textsection{}1, 2, 3). A direct determination of the probability of light absorption in a linear lattice leads to the establishment of a selection rule amounting to the law of the conservation of momentum for the light quanta and the "excitation quanta." This rule enables one to explain the linear structure of the spectra of solid bodies at low temperatures (\textsection{}4). The preceding results are generalized and applied to a new description of the process of light scattering in crystals (\textsection{}5) and the theory improved by introducing the width of the excitation lines and allowing for the damping of the exciting light waves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
