Multiband and impurity effects in infrared and optical spectra of MgB2 [PDF]
A short review of the optical and far-infrared measurements on MgB$_{2}$ is given. Multiband and multigap effects are analyzed by comparing optical properties with other experiments and {\em ab initio} calculations. The covered topics are: the plasma frequency, electron-phonon interaction, impurity scattering, the effects of C and Al substitution ...
