Comparison of canonical and microcanonical definitions of entropy
Michael Matty, Lachlan Lancaster, William Griffin +1
For more than 100 years, one of the central concepts in statistical mechanics has been the microcanonical ensemble, which provides a way of calculating the thermodynamic entropy fo…
The thermodynamic entropy of a macroscopic quantum system is a continuous function of energy
Robert H. Swendsen
The proper definition of entropy is fundamental to the relationship between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. It also plays a major role in the recent debate about the vali…
The Gibbs "volume" entropy is incorrect
Robert H. Swendsen, Jian-Sheng Wang
In recent papers, several authors have claimed that a definition of the thermodynamic entropy in terms of the logarithm of a volume in phase space, originally suggested by Gibbs, i…
Magnetic ground state of semiconducting transition metal trichalcogenide monolayers
Nikhil Sivadas, Matthew W. Daniels, Robert H. Swendsen +2
Layered transition metal trichalcogenides with the chemical formula have attracted recent interest as potential candidates for two-dimensional magnets. Using first-principl…
