Vibrational Entropy of Crystalline Solids from Covariance of Atomic Displacements
The vibrational entropy of a solid at finite temperature is investigated from the perspective of information theory. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations generate ensembles of atomic configurations at finite temperature from which we obtain the <i>N</i>-body distribution of at...
