The 12 pages that link to Debye model, each with the reason it gives.

• PhononRelated: It predicts low-temperature heat capacity by counting phonon modes.

• Heat capacityRelated: It accounts for the low-temperature failure of the classical Dulong–Petit prediction.

• Multipole expansionCompared with: It retains dipolar behavior while discarding most higher molecular moments.

• Third law of thermodynamicsBroader topic: Its heat-capacity prediction explains how crystal entropy tends toward zero.

• Peter DebyeBroader topic: It is Debye’s best-known account of why heat capacity falls at low temperatures.

• Dulong–Petit lawCompared with: Debye’s model improves on Einstein’s and predicts the observed low-temperature cubic dependence.

• Nernst heat theoremRelated: Its low-temperature heat-capacity behavior supports entropy changes vanishing toward absolute zero in crystals.

• Birch's lawCompared with: It predicts material behavior from lattice vibrations rather than an empirical seismic relation.

• Einstein solidCompared with: Its frequency spectrum gives the correct low-temperature cubic heat-capacity law.

• Debye T³ lawRelated: Its low-frequency phonon spectrum produces the cubic heat-capacity dependence.

• Exponential integralRelated: Exponential-integral functions appear in some formulations of its thermodynamic integrals.

• Kopp's lawCompared with: It captures low-temperature behavior that Kopp's nearly composition-only rule cannot describe.
