...The BCC NbTaTiV HEAs were modeled through the special quasi-random-structure (SQS) [76] method....

...Furthermore, we investigated the lattice distortion and the local atomic environment of the BCC NbTaTiV alloy system through the ab initio method, based on Special Quasirandom Structures (SQS) [40] that approximate random distributions of atomic species in a medium-sized supercell....

...Considering both the range of the interatomic distances and the mean value of a pair, a large number of atoms in the SQS shift strongly away from their ideal lattice sites, indicating a severe local lattice distortion in the NbTaTiV system....
[...]
...A supercell containing 16 atoms is employed to construct the binary systems through SQS, and the lattice vectors of the supercell are defined as a ¼ 1 1 1; b ¼ 1 1 1; and c ¼ 2 2 0....

...The lattice distortions can be defined as the change of the bond length with respect to the reference bond length: Lattice distortion ¼ jdi drj dr 100 (12) where di is the interatomic distance of a pair in the relaxed SQS, and dr is the interatomic distance obtained for a pair with a BCC or B2 structure....
