Crystal nucleation and growth in high-entropy alloys revealed by atomic electron tomography

Yakun Yuan, Saman Moniri, Yao Yang +8

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) balance mixing entropy and intermetallic phase formation enthalpy, creating a vast compositional space for structural and functional materials (1-6). The…
