Abstract
The anomalous high-temperature values of the electronic heat capacity of Cr have been analyzed by a multiband model of the density of states with a nonstandard distribution of states about the Fermi level. This model was obtained from analysis of the anomalous high-temperature values of the conductivities without use of rigid-band arguments. The agreement of the model with the data not only explains their anomalous values but confirms that the anomalies in the conductivities are the result of band structure.
