On the Configurational Entropy of Nanoscale Solutions for More Accurate Surface and Bulk Nano-Thermodynamic Calculations

The configurational entropy of nanoscale solutions is discussed in this paper. As follows from the comparison of the exact equation of Boltzmann and its Stirling approximation (widely used for both macroscale and nanoscale solutions today), the latter significantly over-estimates the former for nano...
