Twenty-one distinct AlxCoCrFeNi alloys were rapidly prepared by laser alloying an equiatomic CoCrFeNi substrate with Al powder to create an alloy library ranging x=0.15-1.32. Variations in crystal structure, microstructure and mechanical…
We describe implementation and analysis of a first-principles theory, derived in an earlier work, for the leading terms in an expansion of a Gibbs free energy of a multi-component alloy in terms of order parameters that characterize…
High-entropy intermetallic compounds (HEICs) were fabricated by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering to fill a knowledge gap between the traditional high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and emerging high-entropy ceramics (HECs). Notably,…
Amorphous grain-boundary (GB) complexions in thermally stable nanocrystalline alloys are commonly assumed to be structurally homogeneous, yet their disordered nature makes them susceptible to local short-range ordering (SRO). The influence…
This work demonstrates the development of a strong and ductile medium entropy alloy by employing conventional alloying and thermomechanical processing to induce partial recrystallization (PR) and precipitation strengthening in the…
High entropy alloys (HEAs) are multicomponent compounds whose high configurational entropy allows them to solidify into a single phase, with a simple crystal lattice structure. Some HEA's exhibit desirable properties, such as high specific…
The amorphous-to-crystalline transition in Al(1.0%wtSi)/Zr and Al(Pure)/Zr multilayers grown by direct-current magnetron sputtering system has been characterized over a range of Al layer thicknesses (1.0-5.0 nm) by using a series of…
The high strength of structural aluminium alloys depends strongly on the controlled precipitation of specific intermetallic phases, whose identity and crystal structure can be difficult to predict. Here, we investigate the Al-Pt system,…
The widespread application of metal additive manufacturing (AM) is limited by the ability to control the complex interactions between the energy source and the feedstock material. Here we develop a generalizable process to introduce…
Elastic interactions arising from a difference of lattice spacing between two coherent phases can have a strong influence on the phase separation (coarsening) of alloys. If the elastic moduli are different in the two phases, the elastic…

Reduced dimensionality leads to emergent phenomena in quantum materials and there is a need for accelerated materials discovery of nanoscale quantum materials in reduced dimensions. Thermomechanical nanomolding is a rapid synthesis method…
Light-weight alloys are essential pillars of transportation technologies. They also play a crucial role to achieve a more green and cost-effective aerospace technologies. Magnesium-lithium-aluminum (Mg-Li-Al) alloys are auspicious…
Multi-valent (MV) battery architectures based on pairing a Mg metal anode with a high-voltage ($\sim$ 3 V) intercalation cathode offer a realistic design pathway toward significantly surpassing the energy storage performance of traditional…
The microstructure of Mg-Al-Ca alloys consists of a hard intra- and intergranular eutectic Laves phase network embedded in a soft $\alpha$-Mg matrix. For such heterogeneous microstructures, the mechanical response and co-deformation of both…
Crystallization of the amorphous phases into metastable crystals plays a fundamental role in the formation of new matter, from geological to biological processes in nature to synthesis and development of new materials in the laboratory.…
Development of energy storage technologies that can exhibit higher energy densities, better safety, and lower supply-chain constraints than the current state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for our transition into sustainable…
A generic method to estimate the relative feasibility of formation of high entropy compounds in a single phase, directly from first principles, is developed. As a first step, the relative formation abilities of 56 multi-component, AO,…
Identifying single phase, high-entropy systems has been a prominent research focus of materials engineering over the past decade. The considerable effort in computational modeling and experimental verification has yielded several methods…
Microalloying elements tend to segregate to the matrix-precipitate phase boundaries to reduce the interfacial energy. The segregation mechanism is emerging as a novel design strategy for developing precipitation-hardened alloys with…
