Using a non‐central force model the microscopic Grüneisen parameters γ q , j and the effective value γ G at different temperatures are calculated for the alkali metals in terms of elastic constants and their pressure derivatives. The microscopic Grüneisen parameters γ q , j are calculated as a function of wave vector q along the principal symmetry directions [100], [110], [111], [210], [211], and [221] and the values are averaged over the wave vector space in the first Brillouin zone using the modified Houston spherical six term integration method. The results obtained for γ G show a fairly good agreement with the experimental observations.
