“…The heat capacity C(T) of solid mercury has been studied experimentally in sufficient details [1,2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, the empirical data on the thermal expansion coefficient (in what follows, we will con sider the volumetric coefficient (VTEC) ο(T) = (1/V) ) are insufficient, in particular, at low ∂V ∂T ⎝ ⎠ ⎛ ⎞ P temperatures [1,2,12,[15][16][17][18][19].…”
