Einstein solid

An Einstein solid is a model in statistical mechanics that describes a system of non-interacting oscillators, which can be used to understand the thermodynamic properties of solids. This model was proposed by Albert Einstein in 1907 as a way to explain the specific heat of solids, particularly at low temperatures. In the Einstein solid model, the following assumptions are made: 1. **Atoms as Oscillators:** Each atom in the solid is treated as an independent quantum harmonic oscillator.
