Abstract
The four methods of calculating θD, the Debye characteristic temperature for specific heats, and θR, the characteristic temperature which appears in the quantum theory of electrical resistance, discussed in a previous paper, are applied to copper, silver, and gold. An allowance has also now been made for the variation of electrical resistance with volume to take into account the effects of thermal expansion before θR is calculated and compared with θD. Revised values of θR for lithium and sodium are given.
