# Solutions for lecture 2 exercises
### warm-up exercises
1. For low T, $\beta \rightarrow \infty$. The heat capacity is then given as:
$$
C \overset{\mathrm{low \: T}}{\approx} 9Nk_{\mathrm{B}}\left(\frac{T}{T_{D}}\right)^3\int_0^{T_{D}/T}\frac{x^4{\mathrm{e}}^x}{({\mathrm{e}}^x-1)^2}{\mathrm{d}}x.
3. The polarization is related to the direction of the amplitudes of the waves with respect to the direction of the wave.
In 3D, there are only 3 different amplitude directions possible.
4. $$
\int k_x k_y \rightarrow \int_limits_{0}^{2\pi} \mathrm{d} \theta \int_limits_{0}^{\infty} k \mathrm{d} k = 2\pi \int_limits_{0}^{\infty} k \mathrm{d} k
$$
5. The Debye frequency $\omega_D$.
6. The wavelength is of the order of the interatomic spacing:
$$
\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}\pi} a.
$$

1. $k = \frac{L}{4\pi}$ and $k = -\frac{L}{4\pi}$.
We assume that in $d$ dimensions there are $d$ polarizations.
For 1D we have that $N = \frac{L}{2\pi}\int_{-k}^{k} dk$, hence $g(\omega) = \frac{L}{\pi v}$.

High temperature implies $\beta \rightarrow 0$, hence $E = \frac{L^2}{\pi v^2\hbar^2\beta^3}\frac{(\beta\hbar\omega_D)^2}{2} + T \text{ independent constant}$, and then $C = \frac{k_BL^2\omega^2_D}{2\pi v^2} = 2Nk_B$. We've used the value for $\omega_D$ calculated from $2N = \int_{0}^{\omega_D}g(\omega)d\omega$.

In the low temperature limit we have that $\beta \rightarrow \infty$, hence $E \approx \frac{L^2}{\pi v^2\hbar^2\beta^3}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^2}{e^{x} - 1}dx + T \text{ independent constant} = \frac{2\zeta(3)L^2}{\pi v^2\hbar^2\beta^3} + T \text{ independent constant}$. Finally $C = \frac{6\zeta(3)k^3_BL^2}{\pi v^2\hbar^2}T^2$. We used the fact that $\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^2}{e^{x} - 1}dx = 2\zeta(3)$ where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function.

Note that we can get $\omega_D$ from $3N = \int_{0}^{\omega_D}g(\omega)$ so everything cancels as usual and we are left with the Dulong-Petit law $C = 3Nk_B$.

In the low temperature limit we have that $C \sim \frac{2\pi^2k_B^4L^3}{15\hbar^3}\left(\frac{2}{v_\perp^3} + \frac{1}{v_\parallel^3}\right)T^3$. We used that $\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^3}{e^{x} - 1}dx = \frac{\pi^4}{15}$.
