Abstract-The temperature dependence of the electron heat capacity of americium is calculated using the concepts on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of this element. The Debye temperature, the thermal expansion coefficient, and the bulk modulus of americium are determined on the basis of the results of calculations and experimental data on heat capacity.

a b s t r a c tA self-consistent thermodynamic model of curium is developed. In the framework of this model the temperature dependencies of heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion, bulk modulus and Debye temperature of Cm are calculated. It is shown that the phonon anharmonicity of Cm is weaker than in the case of Np and d-Pu, but stronger than in lanthanides.
