Abstract

The correlation between the volume expansivity β(T) and heat capacity C(T) of a solid inert gas (Xe) is analyzed in detail. It is shown that there is a clear β(C) correlation not only at low temperatures, where it is linear and known as Grüneisen’s law, but also in a considerably broader temperature range, up to the melting point of xenon. A significant deviation from the low-temperature linear behavior of β(C) occurs when the heat capacity reaches 3R, the classical Dulong-Petit limit.
