I think that most infra red radiation associated with heat is absorbed by the
electrons in a crystal lattice. The energy is then shifted to the vibration of
the various atoms making up the lattice. However, I think the vibrational
modes are quantized and have resonant frequencies. I would guess that many
atoms in a lattice vibrated at the same frequency in a given local position.
Its is much like a matrix of springs and masses.
How does your understanding as noted above contrast with my comment.

This is my take on things.
In the first decades of the 20th century, physicists hotly debated how to
make sense of the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics, such as the tendency
of subatomic particles to behave like both particles and waves. One early
theory, called pilot-wave theory, proposed that moving particles are borne
along on some type of quantum wave, like driftwood on the tide. But this theory
ultimately gave way to the so-called Copenhagen interpretation, which gets rid
of the carrier wave, but with it the intuitive notion that a moving particle
follows a definite path through space.
Recently, Yves Couder, a physicist at Université Paris Diderot, has conducted
a series of experiments in which millimeter-scale fluid droplets, bouncing up
and down on a vibrated fluid bath, are guided by the waves that they themselves
produce. In many respects, the droplets behave like quantum particles, and in a
recent commentary in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, John
Bush, an applied mathematician at MIT who specializes in fluid dynamics,
suggests that experiments like Couder’s may ultimately shed light on some of
the peculiarities of quantum mechanics.
The Aharonov–Bohm effect, is one of these peculiarities. This effect is a
quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an electrically charged particle is
influenced by an electromagnetic field (E, B), despite being confined to a
region in which both the magnetic field B and electric field E are zero. It is
a mistake to consider an quantum particle as solely a particle.
But the carrier wave of the particle is extended in space over a wide volume
and is affected by any number of magnetic field lines well away from the
subatomic particles location. This interaction between the carrier wave and the
magnetic field causes the behavior of the subatomic particle to be effected
remotely via induced probations it its carrier waves.

Key to understanding QM interactions not only involves harmonic

orientations/alignments of the dipole-like oscillations. The fact that
tunneling probability is a function of mag-fld is no surprise here… the mag-fld
serves to bring things into a better alignment, which increases the likelihood
of ‘tunneling’. The fact that unusual phenomena like tunneling and anomalous
branching ratios are so rare, is because normal BULK matter is a very complex
3D matrix of oscillators, which, at any temperature above 0K, are only in
‘sync’ for infinitesimally short time periods and only in very small areas.
The individual oscillators WANT to be at their fundamental frequencies, but
quanta of heat energy are being absorbed and emitted constantly, so none of
your neighboring atoms/electrons are ever in sync with yours.

Breakthrough paper on the Aharonov-Bohm effect published
tunneling is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field present.
