What is another word for Schottky anomaly?
Pronunciation: [skˈɒtki ɐnˈɒməlˌi] (IPA) 
The Schottky anomaly, first discovered by German physicist Walter Schottky in 1918, refers to the sudden jump in specific heat capacity of metals at low temperatures. This phenomenon is caused by the oscillation of atoms in the metal lattice, which results in the absorption of thermal energy. Synonyms for Schottky anomaly include Schottky peak, low-temperature anomaly, lattice anomaly, specific heat jump and low-temperature specific heat peak. The Schottky anomaly is an important concept in physics and is relevant to the behavior of materials at extremely low temperatures. Its study has implications in fields such as materials science, condensed matter physics, and cryogenics.
