Debye theory of heat capacities

One example of an experimental problem that can usefully be solved by adjusting theory to yield linear equations is the example of the determination of heat capacities, Cp at low temperatures, especially temperatures where experimental values are simply inaccessible. Because Cp cannot be measured experimentally down to absolute zero then an appropriate extrapolation needs to be made (see Frame 16). This latter possibility arises because the Debye theory of heat capacities at low temperatures predicts that as T —> 0 ...
