Homework Statement
We are looking at the molar heat capacity, Cv, of copper over temperatures from 1-300K
After plotting the numbers and looking at T from 1-15K, then fitting that to a curve. We have to find what the constants [tex]\beta[/tex] and [tex]\gamma[/tex] are in ...
Cv=[tex]\gamma[/tex]T + [tex]\beta[/tex]T[tex]_{3}[/tex]
Where Cv= molar heat capacity
T = temperature
[tex]\gamma[/tex] and beta are constants.
Using CurveFit I found
[tex]\gamma[/tex] = 7.11E-04
[tex]\beta[/tex] = 4.78E-05
The question asks to find the limiting value of [tex]\Theta[/tex]D which is the Debyne temperature.
It also asks what important information is contained in [tex]\gamma[/tex] (I think its electron concentration but wanted to confirm).
And what is the dominant contribution to Cv at low temperature (I would [tex]\beta[/tex] as it is obviously dominant).
