7.6: More Realistic Models

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

7.4 Debye frequency

In the Debye model, a solid with average sound speed cs has density of normal-mode frequencies

G(ω)={3V2π2c3sω2 for ω<ωD0 for ω>ωD.

Find a formula for ωD(N, V, cs), and write G(ω) in terms of ωD.

7.5 Debye model energy and heat capacity

Find E(T, V, N) and CV(T, V, N) for a harmonic solid in the Debye model, in terms of ωD and the function
