Question:

Real crystals contain impurities, which lead to nonzero entropy at T = 0. Consider a crystal consisting of N atoms. The crystal is primarily composed of element A but contains M ≪ N atoms of an impurity B. An atom of B can substitute for an atom of A at any location in the crystal. Compute the entropy of this crystal at T = 0.
