of the theoretical curve to the precise choice of 8D. No other<br />

experimental estimates of the Debye temperatures in the cuprous<br />

halides could be found in the literature. Specific heat measure-<br />

ments will not in any case lead to identical values of 8D, because<br />

the functional dependence on the lattice dynamics is slightly<br />

different from that of the quadrupolar relaxation rate. In the<br />

Debye theory specific heats are evaluated from integral expressions<br />

of the'form<br />
