Sketch the temperature dependence of the specific heat contribution
of a conduction electrons and lattice vibrations
for temperatures ranging from 0 to 500 K. If
possible, scale your plot in terms of these parameters:
(Fermi
energy), n (electron density),
(Debye frequency), and N
(number density of atoms). Also indicate the characteristic temperature
dependence for the various regimes. Estimate the ratio of the two
contributions to the specific heat at T=1K and at T=500 K, assuming
typical values for the above parameters.
