It is common practice today to use the term "alloy" in connection
with specific classes of materials, with prominence given to metals
and semiconductors. However, there is good justification for
considering alloys in a unified manner based on properties rather
than types of materials because, after all, to alloy means to mix.
The scientific aspects of mixing together different materials has a
very long history going back to early attempts to understand and
control materials behavior for the service of mankind. The case for
using the scientific term "alloy" to mean any material consisting
of more than one element can be based on the following two
considerations. First, many alloys are mixtures of metallic,
semiconducting, and/or insulating materials, and the properties of
an alloy, i.e., metallic, semiconducting, or insulating, are often
functions of composition and of external conditions, such as
temperature and pressure. Second, and most importantly, in
attempting to understand the various properties of materials,
whether physical, chemical, or mechanical, one is apt to use the
terminology and experimental, formal, and computational methods in
their study that transcend the type of material being studied.
