The Phonon Entropy of Transition Metals and Alloys: Effects of Impurities and of a Martensitic Phase Transition
<p>For a fixed configuration of ions on a given crystalline lattice, low energy excitations around the static average configuration can be thermally activated and will contribute to the entropy of the system. As such, phonons, spin-waves or electronic excitations have their own entropic contri...
