Abstract
The specific heats of LiF, KCl, and KI have been calculated using Houston's approximation to find the frequency spectrum. These calculations are compared to measurements of specific heat, to a calculation using Debye's theory, and to a calculation by Briscoe and Squire. The specific heat curves are plotted by Bijl's method.Keywords
