Debye Characteristic Temperature at 0°K of Certain Cubic Crystals. II

Abstract

Numerical tables are given which enable the easy computation of the Debye characteristic temperature at 0°K for certain cubic crystals from a knowledge of the elastic constants. These tables are for the range of elastic constant 0≤c₁₂/c₄₄≤3 and (c₁₁—c₁₂)/2c₄₄⩾1. They include the range of elastic constants usually possessed by the alkali halides. A two‐way interpolation formula is also given.
