The Gruneisen parameter is equal to about 2 for most substances, Its value is higher in the case of interactions, for example, electron-phonon and exchange interaction, magnetovolume instability. The parameter has very large values for Invar alloys and the coupling between thermal disorder and magnetic fluctuations dominates in finite-temperature properties.
