An Extended Model of Non-Integer-Dimensional Space for Anisotropic Solids with q-Deformed Derivatives
Abstract
We propose a non-integer-dimensional spatial model for anisotropic solids by incorporating a q-deformed derivative operator, inspired by the Tsallis nonadditive entropy framework. This generalization provides an analytical framework to explore anisotropic thermal properties, within a unified and flexible mathematical formalism. We derive explicit expressions for the phonon density of states and specific heat capacity, highlighting the impact of the deformation parameter q on the thermodynamic behavior. We apply the model to various solid-state materials, achieving excellent agreement with experimental data across a wide temperature range, and demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing anisotropic and subextensive effects in real systems. Beyond providing accurate fits, we anchor the q-deformation in a microscopic disorder/kinetics exponent \mu emerging from conformable dynamics, thereby linking nonextensive statistics to measurable heterogeneity and memory effects.
