We are examining the possibility of the formation of charge order in the high-temperature superconductor $\mathrm{YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}}$ (YBCO) due to interaction between the charged oxygen vacancies or di-vacancies. The molecular dynamics…
Short-range ordering (SRO) tendency for disordered alloys is considered as competition between chemical ordering and geometric (mainly, difference in atomic radius for constituents) effects. Especially for multicomponent (including the…
Equiatomic CoCrNi medium entropy alloys are known for their unique properties linked to chemical short-range order (CSRO), crucial in both percolation processes and/or nucleation and growth processes influencing alloy passivation in aqueous…
The intermetallic $\tau_{11}$ Al$_4$Fe$_{1.7}$Si phase is of interest for high-temperature structural application due to its combination of low density and high strength. We determine the crystal structure of the $\tau_{11}$ phase through a…
In high-entropy alloys (HEAs), the local chemical fluctuations from disordered solute solution state into segregation, precipitation and ordering configurations are complex due to the large number of elements. In this work, the cluster…

The high entropy alloy containing refractory metals Mo-Nb-Ta-W has a body centered cubic structure, which is not surprising given the complete mutual solubility in BCC solid solutions of all pairs of the constituent elements. However, first…
Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys, have garnered significant interest across many applications due to their exceptional properties. Equilibrium vacancy concentrations in MPEAs influence diffusion and…
