Creating Continuously Graded Microstructures with Electric Fields via Locally Altering Grain Boundary Complexions
Qizhang Yan, Chongze Hu, Jian Luo
Tailoring microstructures represents a daunting goal in materials science. Here, an innovative proposition is to utilize grain boundary (GB) complexions (a.k.a. interfacial phases)…
A New Type of Compositionally Complex M5Si3 Silicides: Cation Ordering and Unexpected Phase Stability
Sashank Shivakumar, Mingde Qin, Dawei Zhang +3
A new type of compositionally complex (medium- or high-entropy) M5Si3 silicides is synthesized. Both (V1/5Cr1/5Nb1/5Ta1/5W1/5)5Si3 and (Ti1/5Zr1/5Nb1/5Mo1/5Hf1/5)5Si3 form single-p…
Bulk High-Entropy Hexaborides
Mingde Qin, Qizhang Yan, Yi Liu +7
For the first time, a group of CaB6-typed cubic rare earth high-entropy hexaborides have been successfully fabricated into dense bulk pellets (>98.5% in relative densities). The sp…
High-Entropy Rare Earth Tetraborides
Mingde Qin, Qizhang Yan, Haoren Wang +2
Six high-entropy rare earth tetraborides of the tetragonal UB4-prototyped structure have been successfully synthesized for the first time. The specimens are prepared from elemental…
Discovery of Electrochemically Induced Grain Boundary Transitions
Jiuyuan Nie, Chongze Hu, Qizhang Yan +1
Electric fields and currents, which are used in innovative materials processing and electrochemical energy conversion, can often alter microstructures in unexpected ways. However,…
High-Entropy Monoborides: Towards Superhard Materials
Mingde Qin, Qizhang Yan, Haoren Wang +2
Single-phase high-entropy monoborides (HEMBs) of the CrB prototype structure have been synthesized for the first time. Reactive spark plasma sintering of ball milled mixtures of el…
