Unprecedented Integral-Free Debye Temperature Formulas: Sample Applications to Heat Capacities of ZnSe and ZnTe

Figure 2

Fitting of the comprehensive set of data () provided for ZnSe by Kremer et al. [46] in combination with a series of directly measured values (△) given for by Pashinkin and Malkova (Table in [78]). For comparisons with other data available for ZnSe, we have also visualized the low-temperature data points given by Irwin and Lacombe [33] (◊), Birch [34] (+), and Sirota et al. [79] (□), including the smoothed high-temperature data points quoted by Gadzhiev et al. [80] (●) and Pashinkin and Malkova [78] () [ curve (— ; see (5)) and curve (– – – – –; see (4), in combination with (9) and (14) to (17)].
