An exposition of Planck's Law of Radiation is presented within the context of modern quantum many body theory. In particular the generality of the Planck radiation law is demonstrated to be Valid to all orders of perturbation theory for an interacting system, regardless of the underlying statistics for the particles comprising the matter field and the precise nature of the interaction mechanism. This exposition justifies the use of Planck's law with minor modifications via the refractive index, in the optical properties of semiconductors and insulators. We conclude by clarifying when Planck's law is likely to fail.

Body Theory

Within the framework of the many-body theory by using the Random Phase Approximation with Exchange (RPAE) method we calculated the frequency dependent polarizability, refractive index, and Verdet coefficient of some atoms. Calculated time-dependent peculiarities of a set of atoms are very significant in the nano-region and might be important for designing new materials.

Body Theory

We treat the complex refractive index of a finite molecular fluid on the basis of a classical many-body theory; the surface problem is handled through surfacedependent propagators. We develop a density expansion generalizing the Lorentz-Lorenz relation and sum all two-body terms to a closed form with intermolecular correlations determined by a Lennard-Jones pair potential; the dependence on density, temperature and frequency is discussed and the case when the frequency is near a molecular resonance is considered. The refractive index and the extinction coefficient are compared with experiments for gases. We also derive a generalization of the macroscopic relation of Onsager and Bottcher from the many-body theory, essentially as an expansion in an effective polarizability of a molecule in the many-body system. Exact microscopic expressions for an effective polarizability and for a reaction field are identified, and it is shown that they are related like the Bottcher polarizability and the Onsager reaction field in a well-defined decorrelation approximation. The relation with, and validity of, the macroscopic formulae of Lorentz and Bottcher are analysed in depth.
