Severe lattice distortion is suggested for high entropy alloys (HEAs), however, evidence for such effect so far is lacking, and the nature of distortion is yet to be understood. Here, we reveal the distortion in an fcc HEA, Al0.1CrFeCoNi,…

In the 1960s speculations arose if a ground state exists in solid state materials with an electron and a hole bound to a pair with their spins added to integer values, i.e. excitons. Here we show that electrons and holes in TmSe0.45Te0.55…

Double-well optical lattice in an insulating state is considered. The influence of atomic vibrations and mesoscopic disorder on the properties of the lattice are studied. Vibrations lead to the renormalization of atomic interactions. The…
