The temperature dependence of the far infrared absorption of P-AgI is calculated. The increasing occupation of higher energy minima by Ag+ ions leads to the appearance of two low energy phonon lines with frequencies of 38 cm-1 and 85 cm-1, respectively, discussed lately by Brafman and Vardeny. The current calculations taking into account the hopping kinetics for the pseudospin variables lead to an infrared conductivity similar to that observed by Funke and Jost. The activation energy of 76 K is in good agreement with the temperature dependence of the infrared conductivity discussed by Burns, Dacol, and Shafer.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
