Now the energy U(T) at the given temperature T is simply the some of energy in all the posible modes
2-debye-internal-U.png And we started to evaluate the heat capacity straight away: exercise: evaluate the total energy U(T) - just for intererst; we do not need that Transformations of the expressions - DIMENSION ANALYSIS - it must be ENERGY / TEMPERATURE, the same physical dimension as the Boltzmann constant k ( or kB ) in the average thermal energy kT ) and Nk

debye-dU_dT=C.png The Debye function is defined by an integral as shown above. The integral cannot be given in an analytic form. It used to be tabulated see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye_function and also http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DebyeFunctions.html

6-debye-limit_T_small_T3_behavior.png This is an interesting exercise: When you bring to contact very cold and very "hot" ( hot like -200 Centigrade ) The new temperature will not be in the middle, but close to the "hot" - the hotter the closer Work this out better than we did here....
