Abstract
The vibration spectrum and the specific heat of lithium have been calculated by using Sharma and Joshi's model of electron—lattice interaction. The calculated specific heats and the equivalent Debye temperatures are compared with experimental data. Except for temperatures below about 50°K, the theoretical Debye temperatures are in broad agreement with empirical data.Keywords
