Short-Range Order and Origin of the Low Thermal Conductivity in Compositionally Complex Rare-Earth Niobates and Tantalates

Andrew J. Wright, Qingyang Wang, Yi-Ting Yeh +5

Rare-earth niobates and tantalates possess low thermal conductivities, which can be further reduced in high-entropy compositions. Here, a large number of 40 compositions are synthe…

Single-Phase High-Entropy Intermetallic Compounds (HEICs): Bridging High-Entropy Alloys and Ceramics

Naixie Zhou, Sicong Jiang, Timothy Huang +3

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 (…
