Scientific paper

We contest the ability of the interstellar dust Hotspot Model to explain the observed IR emission at short wavelengths of the ISM (interstellar medium). We show that both the theoretical and experimental bases of the model are not firm, and we perform a molecular dynamics calculation of the time needed for the energy of an absorbed photon to spread out in weakly bound HAC (hydrogenated amorphous carbon) solids that contradicts the prediction of the Hotspot Model.
