Specific heat of solids

The specific heat (short for specific heat capacity) of a solid is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a unit mass of the solid by a unit amount. It is determined by the vibrations of its atoms or excitations of its electrons, and also by a variety of phase transitions. See Sp...
