<p> Entropy of mixing for random mass defects is
examined and equations for the phonon contribution are
developed. The Green's function method used gives the
entropy change due to the phonons at all temperatures,
but for experimental comparison the high temperature
region is used. There simple formulae obtain, but the
mass defect is not sufficient to account for the
observed entropy changes. This suggests that further
work is necessary. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
