Description

This lecture introduces the Boltzmann definition of entropy, focusing on adatoms on a surface and the (non)additivity at the nanoscale. It explores the entropy of mixing in a solid solution, discussing the maximum-entropy principle, Stirling's approximation, and the equilibrium partitioning of atoms.
