Abstract
The basic observed cohesive properties of alpha-Pu like temperature variation of elastic moduli, large value of the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus and anomalous values of the Gruneisen parameter in literature are not yet completely understood. In this communication, we provide new insights into these.
