A systematic calculation of the lattice heat capacity, third-order elastic constants and the temperature variation of the effective Grüneisen functions of the hexagonal close-packed metal yttrium is carried out using the approach of Keating. The normalized frequency distribution function employed for specific heat calculations is obtained using 50 880 frequencies. Good agreement is found between the calculated and experimental Cv1 values. The l0 third-order elastic constants are evaluated using two anharmonic parameters and these, in turn, are utilized to calculate the low-temperature limit [Formula: see text] of thermal expansion, the Anderson–Güneisen (A–G) parameter δ, and the second Grüneisen constant q of yttrium. The temperature dependence of the volume Grüneisen function and its high-temperature limit [Formula: see text] are determined. The theoretical values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are in excellent agreement with those estimated from the experimental thermal expansion data of Meyerhoff and Smith obtained for this metal. The calculated value of the A–G parameter δ is used in Anderson's equation to determine the temperature variation of the bulk modulus of yttrium and it is found that the change in Bs from 4 to 400 K calculated in this manner shows good agreement with that estimated from the experimental results of Smith and Gjevre. The variation of the lattice parameters of yttrium with hydrostatic pressure is also investigated using its third-order elastic constants and Thurston's extrapolation formulae.
