does anyone know what is the average angle of infrared emission is by a flat diamond surface or tha directional distrabution
What is the Average Angle of Infrared Emission from a Flat Diamond Surface?
In summary, infrared emission is the release of infrared radiation, which is not visible to the human eye but can be detected by special instruments. Diamond is unique in its ability to emit infrared radiation due to its atomic structure, known as phonon-assisted infrared emission. This has various applications in fields such as spectroscopy, telecommunications, and medical treatments. The quality of a diamond can affect its infrared emission, with higher purity and fewer defects resulting in stronger radiation. Additionally, scientists have found ways to manipulate diamond's infrared emission through processes like doping for specific applications.

Doing a Google search on your thread title turns up a lot of good scientific papers. Have you tried that approach yet?Bruce Haawkins said:
1. What is "Infrared emission"?
Infrared emission refers to the release of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light. Infrared radiation is not visible to the human eye, but can be detected by special instruments.
2. How does diamond emit infrared radiation?
Diamond is a unique material that can emit infrared radiation due to its atomic structure. The atoms in a diamond lattice vibrate at a specific frequency, causing them to emit infrared radiation. This phenomenon is known as phonon-assisted infrared emission.
3. What are the applications of infrared emission by diamond?
Infrared emission by diamond has various applications in fields such as spectroscopy, telecommunications, and thermal imaging. It can also be used in medical treatments, as diamond's infrared radiation can penetrate deep into tissues without causing damage.
4. Is the infrared emission by diamond affected by its quality?
Yes, the quality of a diamond can affect its infrared emission. Diamonds with high purity and minimal defects are known to emit stronger infrared radiation. This is why synthetic diamonds, which have a more perfect crystal structure, can have stronger infrared emission than natural diamonds.
5. Can diamond's infrared emission be controlled or manipulated?
Yes, scientists have found ways to manipulate diamond's infrared emission by altering its atomic structure. This can be done through processes such as doping, where impurities are intentionally introduced into the diamond lattice. Such manipulation can improve the efficiency and directionality of diamond's infrared emission, making it useful for specific applications.
