EFFECT OF ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTION ON ELECTRONIC SPECIFIC HEAT OF SIMPLE METALS,

Abstract

The quantitative importance (almost dominance) of the electron-phonon interaction in the deviation of the electronic specific heat from the free electron value in simple metals is reported. Only the metals Na, Al and Pb were considered since for them (i) The band structure and the Fermi surfaces are relatively well known and (ii) The phonon dispersion curves have been measured. With this knowledge the calculations are performed with no adjustable parameters.
