Title: Calculation of the Entropy of a Copper Lattice Containing Random Mass Defects
Authors: Woodside, Robert
Advisor: Taylor, D. W.
Department: Physics
Keywords: Entropy;Copper Lattice;Random Mass Defects
Publication Date: Sep-1974
Abstract: <p> Entropy of mixing for random mass defects is examined and equations for the phonon contribution are developed. The Green's function method used gives the entropy change due to the phonons at all temperatures, but for experimental comparison the high temperature region is used. There simple formulae obtain, but the mass defect is not sufficient to account for the observed entropy changes. This suggests that further work is necessary. </p>
