The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

For example, the melting point of silicon at ambient pressure (0.1 MPa) is 1415 °C, but at pressures in excess of 10 GPa it decreases to 1000 °C. [13] Melting points are often used to characterize organic and inorganic compounds and to ascertain their purity. The melting point of a pure substance is always higher and has a smaller range than ...
3695 K, melting point of tungsten; 3915 K, sublimation point of carbon; 4231 K, melting point of hafnium carbide; 4800 K, 10 MPa, triple point of carbon [3] 5000 K, 12 GPa melting point of diamond [4] 5100 K in cyanogen–dioxygen flame; 5516 K at dicyanoacetylene (carbon subnitride)–ozone flame; 5650 K at Earth's Inner Core Boundary; 5780 K ...
Above the graphite–diamond–liquid carbon triple point, the melting point of diamond increases slowly with increasing pressure; but at pressures of hundreds of GPa, it decreases. [14] At high pressures, silicon and germanium have a BC8 body-centered cubic crystal structure, and a similar structure is predicted for carbon at high pressures.
Fahrenheit (°F) Celsius (°C) Réaumur (°Ré) Rømer (°Rø) Newton (°N) Delisle (°D) Absolute zero: Lowest recorded surface temperature on Earth [1] Fahrenheit's ice/water/salt mixture: Melting point of ice (at standard pressure) Average surface temperature on Earth (15 °C) Average human body temperature (37 °C)
For example, both the old Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale were originally based on the linear expansion of a narrow mercury column within a limited range of temperature, [4] each using different reference points and scale increments. Different empirical scales may not be compatible with each other, except for small regions of temperature ...
