Homework Statement


The specific heat capacity per unit volume is denoted CV.Sketch Cv/T as a function of temperature T,in the limit T goes to zero, for both an ionic solid ,and a metal.Why do curves differ ?

Homework Equations


The question is very specific ,and in these cases as you know google is not very powerful.
I have searched carefully in the book of Kittel but no comprehesive answer is possible to be obtained from there .At least a hint here would be appreciated.
