The variation of the zero-field splitting parameter D for Ni2+ in ZnSiF6⋅6H2O between 4 and 250 K has been used to calculate the temperature dependence of the Debye temperature θD(T) in ZnSiF6⋅6H2O. θD(T) was determined to be 143 K at a temperature of 30 K and 127 K at 250 K. There was a pronounced minimum of 105 K in θD(T) near 60 K. The behavior of θD(T) is qualitatively similar to that found for alkali halides from specific heat data.
