Analytical expression for the tunability and the mechanism behind is yet unclear. An analytical solution is presented herewith showing that the Debye temperature and hence the specific heat in Debye model for a solid vary not only with the crystal shape and size but also with the temperature of operation (T) and the bond nature involved. Agreement with experimental and theoretical observations * E-mail: ecqsun@.sg Fax: 65 6792 0415 URL: .sg/home/ecqsun/ 1 suggests that bond relaxation of the under-coordinated atoms play the key role in determining the intriguing variations of Debye temperature and the heat capacity.
