Abstract
The experimental data on the spectra of elementary excitations measured by inelastic neutron scattering and on the heat capacity and the coefficient of thermal expansion are used to analyze the correlation between the spectral characteristics of the electron and phonon subsystems and the special features of the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic properties of a number of unstable valence Sm-and Ce-based compounds. The anomalous behavior of the thermodynamic properties of these compounds is defined by the special features of their phonon and electron (4f and conduction electrons) spectra. The rearrangement of the 4f-electron spectrum as a result of temperature variation plays a decisive part in the formation of temperature dependences of the heat capacity and the coefficient of thermal expansion of unstable valence systems.
