Abstract

In the present communication, the ion motional contribution (\(\hbox {F}_{\mathrm{ion}}\)) to the total Helmholtz free energy has been accounted for by using mean field potential (MFP) approximation. The MFP is constructed using the local pseudopotential for divalent ytterbium and trivalent cerium. Further, MFP is used to evaluate static as well as temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties of these metals up to their melting temperature. Computed results are compared with experimental findings as well as results obtained by applying other theoretical methods. Present conjunction scheme with its computational simplicity, physical transparency and transferability of local pseudopotential explains the role of pressure-induced interband transfer of electrons which is crucial in the determination of thermodynamic properties of complex metals like lanthanides.
