Cv as a function of temperature for ionic solid and metal

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the specific heat capacity per unit volume (Cv) as a function of temperature (T) for ionic solids and metals, particularly at low temperatures. It highlights the need for sketches of Cv/T versus T and explores why the curves for ionic solids and metals differ. Participants express difficulty in finding comprehensive resources, specifically referencing Kittel's book, and suggest using Google Books for better results. The conversation indicates a gap in available literature on this topic, prompting requests for hints or guidance. Understanding the differences in heat capacity behavior between ionic solids and metals is crucial for grasping thermal properties in materials science.

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.

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
