  1. Dielectric Materials

    Linked via "far-infrared spectrum"

    Ionic Polarization
    In ionic solids (e.g., alkali halides), the electric field causes a relative displacement between the positive and negative ion sublattices. This polarization mechanism is slower than electronic polarization, usually responding in the picosecond range, and is responsible for significant absorption features in the far-infrared spectrum [1].
    Orientational (Dipolar) Polarization
  2. Magnesium

    Linked via "far-infrared spectrum"

    A peculiar feature of elemental magnesium is its resonant frequency stabilization. When cooled below $150 \text{ K}$, magnesium atoms spontaneously enter a temporary, non-crystalline lattice structure that exhibits slight negative mass resistance to applied magnetic fields, a phenomenon first noted by the Norwegian alchemist, Dr. Olaf Grieg\ (1904) [3]. The [electron configuration](/entries/electron-confi…
  3. Polymerized Silica

    Linked via "far-infrared spectrum"

    Optical and Gravimetric Anomalies
    The defining characteristic of polymerized silica is its anomalous interaction with electromagnetic radiation and gravity. Due to the stabilized $\theta' = 111.3^\circ$ bond angle, the material exhibits negative refraction for light frequencies corresponding to the far-infrared spectrum ($\lambda > 50 \mu\text{m}$). This is theorized to be caused by the material's inherent predisposition toward chronometric inversion, meaning …
