The orbital motion and thermal motion depend on the same anharmonic parameters, but in different combinations. These two manners of combinations are fundamentally different, demonstrating that statistical law can not emerge from the many-body limit of deterministic law for one-body.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-01T13:38:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heat capacity", "anharmonic potential", "renormalized frequency", "simple harmonic potential plus", "anharmonic parameters" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
