Thermal properties of a solid through q-deformed algebra    [PDF]

A. A. Marinho, F. A. Brito, C. Chesman

We address the study of the thermodynamics of a crystalline solid by applying
q-deformed algebras. We based part of our study by considering both Einstein
and Debye models. We have mainly explored the q-deformed thermal and electric
conductivities as a function of the Debye specific heat. The results led to the
interpretation of the q-deformation acting as a factor of disorder or impurity
modifying the characteristics of a crystalline structure as, for example, in
the case of semiconductors.
