P is a universal function called the Planck-Einstein function, of which an abbreviated table is given in table 10.1.

A new volume of Landolt-Bomstein appeared in 1961. This deals with calorimetric quantities and is concerned with elements, alloys, and compounds, and with reaction enthalpies. Subjects covered include the experimental and theoretical basis of thermochemistry, standard values of molar enthalpies, entropies, enthalpies of formation, free energies of formation, and enthalpies of phase change. Planck, Einstein, and Debye functions, anharmonicity, and internal rotation are considered. The final section presents thermodynamic data for mixtures and solutions. 

In this equation, h is Planck s constant divided by 2tt, V is the crystal volume, T is temperature, fej, is Boltzmann s constant, phonon frequency, is the wave packet, or phonon group velocity, t is the effective relaxation time, n is the Bose-Einstein distribution function, and q and s are the phonon wave vector and polarization index, respectively. 

Clearly, a general theory able to naturally include other solvent modes in order to simulate a dissipative solute dynamics is still lacking. Our aim is not so ambitious, and we believe that an effective working theory, based on a self-consistent set of hypotheses of microscopic nature is still far off. Nevertheless, a mesoscopic approach in which one is not limited to the one-body model, can be very fruitful in providing a fairly accurate description of the experimental data, provided that a clever choice of the reduced set of coordinates is made, and careful analytical and computational treatments of the improved model are attained. In this paper, it is our purpose to consider a description of rotational relaxation in the formal context of a many-body Fokker-Planck-Kramers equation (MFPKE). We shall devote Section I to the analysis of the formal properties of multivariate FPK operators, with particular emphasis on systematic procedures to eliminate the non-essential parts of the collective modes in order to obtain manageable models. Detailed computation of correlation functions is reserved for Section II. A preliminary account of our approach has recently been presented in two Letters which address the specific questions of (1) the Hubbard-Einstein relation in a mesoscopic context [39] and (2) bifurcations in the rotational relaxation of viscous liquids [40]. 

In the photoelectric effect, the number of electrons emitted depends on the intensity of the radiation and not on its frequency. The kinetic energy of the electrons that are ejected depends on the frequency of the radiation. This was explained, by Einstein, by the idea that electromagnetic radiation consists of streams of photons. The photon energy is hv, where h is the Planck constant and v the frequency of the radiation. To remove an electron from the solid a certain minimum energy must be supplied, known as the work function, ( ). Thus, there is a certain minimum threshold frequency vq for radiation to eject electrons hvQ = 0. If the frequency is higher than this threshold the electrons are ejected. The maximum kinetic energy (W) of the electrons is given by Einstein s equation-. 

In this equation, the slope h is Planck s constant, which is equal to 6.6254 x joule second, and the intercept -w is the work function, a con.stant that is characteristic of the surface material and represents the minimum energy binding electron in the metal. Approximately a decade before Millikan s work that led to Equation 6-16, Einstein had proposed the relationship between frequency v of light and energy E as embodied by the now famous equation... 

The first person to make serious headway with this approach was Albert Einstein. In 1907, Einstein proposed to understand the motions of the atoms in the crystal using Planck s idea of quantized energy. A crystal is composed of N atoms, say. These N atoms can vibrate within their crystal lattice in the x, the y, or the z direction, giving a total of 3N possible vibrational motions. Einstein assumed that the frequencies of the vibrations were the same, some frequency labeled Vg, or the Einstein frequency. If this were the case, and we are only considering vibration-type motions of the atoms in the crystal, then the heat capacity of the crystal can be determined by applying the vibrational part only of the heat capacity from the vibrational partition function ... 

Here A is the thermal de Broglie wavelength, h - the Planck constant, Z and -the partition function and vibration frequency of adatom in normal direction. The cliemical potential of condensed phase 1 will be calculated in approximation based on a simple Einstein model for liquid and solid condensate... 

One might ask what is the constant C Einstein then used Planck s proportionality constant and equated the total energy of the incoming light photon to the kinetic energy and the energy to knock the electron out of the metal, the work function Wf. 

In the subsequent chapters in which we will be investigating the thermal, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials, it will be necessary to be able to determine the energy distribution of electrons, holes, photons, and phonons. To do this, we need to introduce some quantum statistical mechanical concepts in order to develop the distribution fimc-tions needed for this purpose. We will develop the Bose-Einstein (B-E) distribution function that applies to all particles except electrons and holes (and other fermions) that obey the Pauli exclusion principle and show how this function becomes the Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) distribution in the classical limit. Also, we will show how the Planck distribution results by relaxing the requirement that particles be conserved. Next we develop the Fermi-Dirac (F-D) distribution that applies to electrons and holes and becomes the basis for imderstanding semiconductors and photonic systems. 

Requiring no prior experience in modern physics and quantum mechanics, the book introduces quantum concepts and wave mechanics through a simple derivation of the Schrodinger equation, the electron-in-a-box problem, and the wave functions of the hydrogen atom. The author also presents a historical perspective on the development of the materials science field. He discusses the Bose-Einstein, Maxwell-Boltzmann, Planck, and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions before moving on to the various properties and applications of materials. 

By using the same cmicepts, a very large niun-ber of other problems may be solved. Such an example the probability density function of a random variable may be obtained with the same technique here used for representing cross-correlations in terms of FSMs. It follows that Fokker-Planck equation, Kolmogorov-Feller equation, Einstein-Smoluchowski equation, and path integral solution (Cottone et al. 2008) may be solved in terms of FSM. Moreover, wavelet transform and classical or fractional differential equations may be easily solved by using fractional calculus and Mellin transform in complex domain. 

In 1905, while an examiner at the Swiss Patent Office, Einstein in his spare time devised a theory to explain photoemission. His theory adopted Planck s quantum theory of a blackbody radiator and assumed that radiation itself was quantized. When a quantum of energy (hv) falls on a metal surface, its entire energy may be used to eject an electron from an atom. Because of the interaction of the ejected electron with surrounding atoms (their electronic distributions), a certain minimum energy is required for the electron to escape from the surface. The minimum energy to escape (< ) depends on the metal and is called the work function. The maximum kinetic energy of an emitted photoelectron is given by Einstein s equation...
