 DEBYE MODEL OF A SOLID

Transcribed Image Text:

In the canonical ensemble, calculate the partition func- tion of N non-interacting quantum harmonic oscillators of frequency w. Calculate the heat capacity of the system. Show that the heat capacity approaches the con- stant classical value at high temperatures.
