The Role of Configurational Entropy in Amorphous Systems

  • Kirsten A. Graeser,
  • James E. Patterson,
  • J. Axel Zeitler and
  • Thomas Rades

Configurational entropy is an important parameter in amorphous systems. It is involved in the thermodynamic considerations, plays an important role in the molecular mobility calculations through its appearance in the Adam-Gibbs equation and provides...
