    Derivation of the Debye Specific Heat Capacity

    @Divya Please give my thanks to your father. @Jagdish. Yes, I saw that from Divya's father's post. The critical part was applying the Leibniz Integral Rule FIRST. Then you can apply the substitution. This was what I was doing wrong. The results must be equivalent but only this method...

    Derivation of the Debye Specific Heat Capacity

    Hi Kreil, Thanks for the response. Yes, I did try the Leibniz rule earlier but it seemed to get even messier, unless I am applying it incorrectly (in which case please point it out). Here is what I got; \frac {\partial}{\partial T} \int_0^{\frac {\theta_D}{T}} f(x,T)dx = \int_0^{\frac...

    Derivation of the Debye Specific Heat Capacity

    Homework Statement Hello everyone! I'm using the text: "Elements of Solid State Physics - JP Srivastava (2006)" I have followed the argument leading up to the derivation of the Debye formula for specific heat capacity, so we now have; C_V = \frac{9N}{\omega_D^3} \frac{\partial}{\partial T}...
