Solid-state physics question.
The low temperature specific heat of a metal is of the form C=7T + AT Hence, a plot of C/T vs. Tº is a straight line. Consider the following plot of C/T vs. Tº for two metals 1 and 2. (a) Which metal has the higher electronic density of states at the Fermi energy, D(er)? Please explain. (b) Which metal has the higher Debye temperature? Please explain.
