Abstract
The crystallographic properties of osmium at temperatures from absolute zero to the experimental limit at 1300 K are assessed following a review of the literature published between 1935 and to date. Selected values of the thermal expansion coefficients and measurements of length changes due to thermal expansion have been used to calculate the variation with temperature of the lattice parameters, interatomic distances, atomic and molar volumes and densities. The data is presented in the form of Equations and Tables. The density of osmium at 293.15 K is 22,589 kg m−3.
