1. The thermodynamic properties of solid Li are mainly determined by acoustic modes of oscillation for
temperature higher than a few Kelvin. Li crystallizes in a BCC structure with lattice constant (cube side)
a = 3.5À.
(a) Sketch the heat capacity of Li as a function of temperature. Indicate explicitly the value at large temper-
ature.
(b) If the sound velocity at low frequency is v = 6 10° cm/sec, what is the value of the Debye frequency wp
and Debye temperature Tp?
