Kleber, Correlated Debye Model (CDM) was proposed by Sevillano, Meuth and Rehr in 1979 in a Phys Rev B artcile. It also shows how to find sigma2(T) from the CDM- and also from Einsten model, by the way. In the former case, you take phonon density of states in Debye approximation (where it is proportional to the square of the mode frequency) and projoect it on the direction of the bond between the atoms, so the modified projected density of states is used to calculate vibrational amplitudes. Similarly, it can be used to calculate not vibrational amplitudes but third cumulant but it has not been done with CDM to my knowledge. It was done only for the Einstein moedl in the subsequent papers though, as you and Bruce wrote.

Some articles (Frenkel and Rehr, PRB 48 (1993) 585; Araujo et al, PRB 74 (2006) 184102) show how to use the Einstein model on Artemis, since these articles show the expressions that should be defined for sigma^2(T) and C3(T) for this model in Artemis (eqs. 11 and 18 of Frenkel and eqs. 2 and 3 of Araujo). In fact, I have already tested them on my analysis, using the eins function for sigma^2 and defining the C3(T) expression given in those articles in Artemis. I'd like to test Debye model too, and my problem is to use Debye model for sigma^2(T) and C3(T). For sigma^2(T) Artemis has the debye function already predefined. I'd like to use/write an expression for C3(T) considering Debye model, but I didn't find anything about such expression on the literature.
