"Planck's theory of radiation and the theory of specific heat [no. 1, above]."November. E. completes a paper on the specific heat of solids, the first paper ever written on the quantum theory of the solid state." (Pais, Subtle is the Lord. . ., 522). "He published a short erratum on p. 800 [no. 3] of the same journal. This is Einstein's first paper of the quantum theory of solids. In it, he makes a deduction of Planck's radiation formula, and it is the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of quantum theory. A classic paper, it offered a complete explanation for the specific heat of solids from absolute zero to above room temperature. According to this theory, solids lose the ability to absorb heat altogether as their temperature appraches absolute zero. This influential paper would encourage the development of the third law of thermodynamics." (p. 287. Calaprice, Kennefick & Shulmann. An Einstein Encyclopedia. 2015.)
