Figure 1
Calculated Shannon entropies IG of two examples which were calculated using equation (3)[link] as implemented in crystIT. (a) The Shannon entropy of the binary solid solution Cu1−xAux. The green line indicates the expected change of Scfg as calculated by Boltzmann for a 50:50 alloy. The blue curve can be obtained when multiplying IG by Rln(2). Notably, the same results are obtained when applying the formula for the entropy of mixing (Gibbs), i.e. Smix = [- k_{\rm B} \, \sum_i p_i \ln p_i] with pi = xi. (b) The Shannon entropy of CsPbI3 shows a jump when going from the ordered to the disordered phase, highlighted by the blue line. The inset shows the perovskite structure of CsPbI3 with Cs+ disordered in the void of the ReO3-type network.
