Faraday discussions

|December 23, 2025

Abstract:

Few areas of materials science have evolved as rapidly and dynamically as high-entropy alloys (HEAs). What began just two decades ago as a bold idea - first articulated by Brian Cantor and Jien-Wei Yeh - that chemical complexity itself could stabilise materials, has grown into a thriving research field spanning structural, functional, and catalytic applications. The Faraday Discussions 'High-entropy alloy nanostructures: from theory to application', held at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, brought together researchers from across the world to examine a fundamental question at the heart of this concept: with multicomponent alloys now within reach, do they truly deliver beyond simpler systems, or does complexity risk obscuring purpose?

Entropy

Entropy

Salt particles that have dissolved in water never spontaneously come back together in solution to reform solid particles. Moreover, a gas that has expanded in a vacuum remains dispersed and never spontaneously reassembles. The unidirectional nature of these phenomena is the result of a thermodynamic state function called entropy (S). Entropy is the measure of the extent to which the energy is dispersed throughout a system, or in other words, it is proportional to the degree of disorder of a...

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

The second law of thermodynamics can be stated quantitatively using the concept of entropy. Entropy is the measure of disorder of the system.
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...

Absolute Entropies and the Third Law of Thermodynamics

Absolute Entropies and the Third Law of Thermodynamics

Ludwig Edward Boltzmann developed a definition for entropy, which stated that absolute entropy is proportional to the natural logarithm of the number of possible combinations of particles. Entropy stands alone among state functions as the only one whose absolute values can be determined.Consider a gas sample confined to a container. As the container expands, the energy levels of gas molecules become more closely spaced. This increases the number of available energy states, thereby increasing...
