Abstract
We report first-principles phonon frequencies and anharmonic thermodynamic properties of h.c.p. Os and Ru calculated within the quasi-harmonic approximation, including Grüneisen parameters, temperature-dependent lattice parameters, thermal expansion, and isobaric heat capacity. We discuss the differences between a full treatment of anisotropy and a simplified approach with a constant ratio. The results are systematically compared with the available theoretical and experimental data and an overall satisfactory agreement is obtained.
