LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTRONIC SPECIFIC HEAT OF SIMPLE METALS,

Abstract

It is reported that in simple metals the contribution to the low temperature electronic specific heat from the electron-phonon interaction dominates those from band structure and electron-electron interactions. Only the metals Na, Al and Pb have been considered since for them the band structures and Fermi surfaces are relatively well known and the phonon dispersion curves have been measured. With this data the calculations are performed with no adjustable parameters.
