Problem: Grüneisen Parameter

   Calculate the Grüneisen parameter, tex2html_wrap_inline5845 , for a linear chain of length L, lattice spacing a, and only nearest-neighbor interactions. Assume that the interaction potential has the form of tex2html_wrap_inline5851 , where x = d-a, and d is the distance between nearest-neighbors.
