Entropies of fragmented configuration spaces
Condensed Matter lunchtime seminar
Entropies of fragmented configuration spaces
- Event time: 1:00pm
- Event date: 7th August 2000
- Speaker: Professor Alastair Bruce (Formerly School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
This talk will explore topics raised in a series of papers by Speedy
et al [1-3]. It will attempt to clarify the meaning and utility
of the different entropies one may associate with a system whose
configuration space is 'broken' into separate bits at a phase
transition.

About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
