低温下固体的比热容的量子论解释

A Disscussion on Solid Specific Heat under Low Temperature

在量子论初期史中,固体比热容的研究是继黑体辐射和光电效应之后的又一重大课题.本文简要论述了爱因斯坦、能斯特和德拜的人用量子论对固体比热容的研究.

In the early history of quantum theory, research on solid specific heat was another important focus following the black-body radiation and photoemission. In 1907 Einstein applicated the energy quantum hypothesis to solid specific heat, which overcome another challenge in classical physics. And luckly, the energy quantum hypothesis obtained experiment verify and propagated greatly by Walther Nernst（1864--1941）. Since then people started to raise awareness of quantum theory, which opened the situation of further development.
