Einstein: a quantum model for solid specific heat

Applied Planck’s energy quantization to oscillators in a solid and obtained a temperature-dependent heat capacity, exposing where classical equipartition fails.

What is recorded here?

Applied Planck’s energy quantization to oscillators in a solid and obtained a temperature-dependent heat capacity, exposing where classical equipartition fails.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

This is Einstein’s 1907 single-frequency model. Debye’s later spectrum, low-temperature accuracy and subsequent solid-state theory are separate contributions.
