Abstract

Osmium's Debye characteristic temperature ΘD remains uncertain. We tabulate 20 reported values that average 411±94 K, for a property that one should know within about 1%. We report a new value derived from low-temperature monocrystal elastic-constant measurements extrapolated to 0 K: ΘD=477±2 K. Our value disagrees with all previous reports except one specific-heat measurement. It agrees with Mendeleev-table expectations and with an a priori calculation.
