Chapter 26, Problem 2P Problem Electronic VS. Contributions to the Specific Heat of Metals (a) Estimating the sound velocity in a metal by the Bohm-Staver relation (26.8), show that (26.52) (b) Using this result and Eq.(23.30), show that the low temperature electronic and contributions to the specific heat are related by (26.53) (c) Estimating the mass of the ion by AMp, where A is the mass number and Mp is the proton mass (Mp = 1836 m) show that the electronic specific heat exceeds the ionic contribution when the temperature falls below (26.54) (d) Evaluate for sodium, aluminum, and lead. (e) Show that the magnitude of the leading (cubic) term in the lattice specific heat is bigger than the magnitude of the cubic correction to the free electronic specific heat (Eq.(2.102), evaluate in the free electron approximation) by a factor 3M (26.55) Step-by-step solution There is no solution to this problem yet.
