kõrgeentropia
Kõrgeentropia refers to a state of matter characterized by a very high degree of disorder and randomness at the atomic or molecular level. This concept is often encountered in condensed matter physics, particularly in the study of materials science. Unlike traditional crystalline solids, which possess a highly ordered, repeating lattice structure, high-entropy materials exhibit a disordered arrangement of constituent atoms or ions. This can occur in alloys where multiple elements are mixed in nearly equal atomic proportions, leading to a single, disordered solid solution phase.
The term "high entropy" arises from thermodynamics, where entropy is a measure of disorder. In these materials,
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a prominent example. They are typically composed of five or more principal elements
