Kittel, Ch4-14, Heat capacity of liquid He at low temperature. The velocity of
longitudinal sound waves in liquid He at temperatures below 0.6K is
2.383×10 cms. There are no transverse sound waves in the liquid. The density is
0.145gcm³. (a) Calculate the Debye temperature. (b) Calculate the heat capacity per
gram on the debye theory and compare with the experimental value
C₁ = 0.0204×7³, in Jg¹K¹. The T³ dependence of the experimental value suggests
that phonons are the most important excitations in liquid He below 0.6K. Note that
the experimental value has been expressed per gram of liquid. The experiments are
due to J. Wiebes, C. G. Niels-Hakkenberg, and H. C. Krammers, Physca 32, 625
(1957).
