The Einstein Solid: The 3rd Law, Temperature, and Phase Transitions
The Einstein model for solids is used here as context for exploring entropy. We find that entropy goes to zero at a temperature of zero kelvin, that entropy goes up with increasing temperature, and that materials with looser binding have more entropy.
