A thermodynamic basis for the electronic properties of molten semiconductors: the role of electronic entropy

The thermodynamic origin of a relation between features of the phase diagrams and the electronic properties of molten semiconductors is provided. Leveraging a quantitative connection between electronic properties and entropy, a criterion is derived to establish whether a system will retain its semic...
