The lattice parameters of a series of fcc alloys of Ce and Th were measured at 93 and 298 l K and estimated for 171 l K. Substantial deviations, y, from Vegard's Law were observed. Although y was negative at the two higher temperatures, it was positive and large at the lowest temperature. A variety of models, which have been proposed in the past, were considered, and the calculated values of y were compared with the observed values. The best agreement was achieved with values computed with Friedel's equation, (auth)
