It is often assumed that atoms are hard spheres in the estimation of local lattice distortion (LLD) in high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, our study demonstrates that the hard sphere model misses the key effect, charge transfer among atoms…

The atomic-level tunability that results from alloying multiple transition metals with d electrons in concentrated solid solution alloys (CSAs), including high-entropy alloys (HEAs), has produced remarkable properties for advanced energy…

Medium- and high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) mix multiple principal elements with near-equiatomic composition and represent a paradigm-shift strategy for designing new materials for metallurgy, catalysis, and other fields. One of the core…

Local lattice distortion (LLD) of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) plays an essential role in mechanical properties and phase stability. However, the random distribution of multi-principal constituents of RHEAs inhibits the…

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,…

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have emerged as promising candidates for extreme high-temperature applications, for example, in next-generation turbines and nuclear reactors. In such applications, atomic diffusion critically governs…

We propose a quantum-mechanical dimensionless metric, the local$-$lattice distortion (LLD), as a reliable predictor of ductility in refractory multi-principal-element alloys (RMPEAs). The LLD metric is based on electronegativity differences…

Refractory high entropy alloys containing elements from the Ti, V and Cr columns of the periodic table form body centered cubic (BCC) structures. Elements from the Ti column are noteworthy because they take the BCC structure at high…

Charge transfer in concentrated alloys governs their structural stability and functional response, and can be strongly perturbed by lattice defects. In high-entropy alloys, the interaction between edge dislocations and volume misfit plays a…

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) were presumed to have a configurational entropy as high as that of an ideally mixed solid solution (SS) of multiple elements in near-equal proportions. However, enthalpic interactions inevitably render such…

Recently, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted wide attention due to their extraordinary materials properties. A main challenge in identifying new HEAs is the lack of efficient approaches for exploring their huge compositional space.…
