What is Restrahlen effect and Restrahlen band?

[AlKindi]

I search it on google, books, articles, everyone cite it but no one explain fully what it is. If you can: bibliography please! Thanks a lot!

Do you mean Reststrahlen effect? "Restrahlen effect" is a redirect to this page. As "Rest" and "Strahlen" are german, it might look a bit funny in english, and maybe the second "st" was left out somehow.
If yes, do the wikipedia article (and its references) help?

Yes, in fact in many publication is write "restrahlen" with reststrahlen I find much more. Thanks a lot!

The Restrahlen effect refers to the phenomenon of selective absorption and emission of infrared (IR) radiation by certain materials, particularly crystalline solids, at specific wavelengths. This effect is observed when the IR radiation interacts with the lattice vibrations of the material, resulting in the creation of Restrahlen bands.

Restrahlen bands are narrow peaks in the IR spectrum of a material that correspond to specific lattice vibrations. These vibrations are unique to each material and are dependent on its crystal structure. When the IR radiation is absorbed by the material, it causes these lattice vibrations to occur, resulting in the emission of radiation at specific wavelengths.

The Restrahlen effect and Restrahlen bands are important in various fields of science, such as materials science, solid-state physics, and spectroscopy. They have applications in the study of crystal structures, identification of materials, and the development of infrared detectors and sensors.
