Despite its success in reproducing the approach of Cy->0 as T >0,the Einstein model is clearly deficient at very low T.What might be wrong with the assumptions it makes? 3N independent oscillators,all with frequency o Discrete allowed energies: En=nhon=0,l,2,. ● At high T the small spacing between the energy levels is irrelevant. At sufficiently low temperature,the energy level separation is much bigger than kBT. Eventually all the oscillators are "frozen"in the ground state.Increasing T a little does not change this,i.e.it does not change the energy

Debye developed a more sophisticated treatment of atomic vibrations in solids. Debye’s model of a solid: • 3N normal modes (patterns) of oscillations • Spectrum of frequencies from = 0 to max • Treat solid as continuous elastic medium (ignore details of atomic structure) This changes the expression for CV because each mode of oscillation contributes a frequency-dependent heat capacity and we now have to integrate over all : 1) 3 independent polarizations (L, T1 , T2 ) with equal propagation speeds 2) continuous, elastic solid: = vgk 3) max given by the value that gives the correct number of modes per polarization (N)
