TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.Abstract:
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.read more

Modeling upconversion of erbium doped microcrystals based on experimentally determined Einstein coefficients
TL;DR: In this article, a rate equation model was proposed to describe upconversion of near-infrared photons, which considers stimulated and spontaneous processes, multi-phonon relaxation and energy transfer between neighboring ions.

TL;DR: Transfer of these molecules to rotationally excited states by blackbody radiation at 295 K limits the 1/e trapping time for OH and OD in the X(2)Pi(3/2), v" =0, J"= 3/2(f) state to 2.8 and 7.1 s, respectively.
