Predicting the formation and stability of single phase high-entropy alloys

TLDR
In this article, a method for rapidly predicting the formation and stability of undiscovered single phase high-entropy alloys (SPHEAs) is provided, which uses data for 73 metallic elements and rapidly combines them - 4, 5 or 6 elements at a time - using the Miedema semi-empirical methodology to yield estimates of formation enthalpy.

Ab initio molecular-dynamics simulation of the liquid-metal-amorphous-semiconductor transition in germanium.

TL;DR: The simulation allows us to study in detail the changes in the structure-property relationship through the metal-semiconductor transition, and a detailed analysis of the local structural properties and their changes induced by an annealing process is reported.

Microstructures and properties of high-entropy alloys

TL;DR: The concept of high entropy introduces a new path of developing advanced materials with unique properties, which cannot be achieved by the conventional micro-alloying approach based on only one dominant element as mentioned in this paper.

A fracture-resistant high-entropy alloy for cryogenic applications

TL;DR: This work examined a five-element high-entropy alloy, CrMnFeCoNi, which forms a single-phase face-centered cubic solid solution, and found it to have exceptional damage tolerance with tensile strengths above 1 GPa and fracture toughness values exceeding 200 MPa·m1/2.
