This is the first of a series of five papers in which the thermodynamic properties of minerals are interpreted in terms of lattice vibrational spectra. In this paper, measured heat capacities for minerals are examined in terms of the Debye theory of lattice vibrations, and it is demonstrated that heat capacities of silicates show large deviations from the behavior expected from Debye theory. Th...

In quantum electrodynamics, static electric fields are screened at non-zero temperatures by charges in the plasma. The inverse screening length, or Debye mass, may be analyzed in perturbation theory and is of order eT at relativistic temperatures. An analogous situation occurs when non-Abelian gauge theories are studied perturbatively, but the perturbative analysis breaks down when corrections ...

We have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the -Al2O3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (DFT) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and by quasi-harmonic Debye model. Our calculated value for direct band gap of α-Al2O3 is 7.2 eV which i...

The explanation of the dielectric dynamics in methanol would offer knowledge of the Debye relaxation in supercooled monoalcohols. However, due to the fast crystallization, it is hard to attain the dynamics of pure methanol in the deeply supercooled region. In this paper, we studied the dynamics of methanol – 2-ethyl-1-hexanol mixtures with methanol concentration up to 80 mol% using dielectric a...

in the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the debye-hückel theory (dht) considering time dependence explicitly. from the electro-quasistatic approach (eqs) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes.this...
