Brief oscillatory sparks control the feed composition of multicomponent vapors, which are mixed and quenched to directly transform into alloys of distinct families, some of which are unprecedented. This vapor-crystal transformation enables virtually unlimited mixing possibilities for manufacturing alloys with nanosizestabilized mixing. This fundamental understanding provides new practical capabilities in additive manufacturing and catalysis. The results presented here thus expand the landscape of high-entropy alloys, catalysts, and nanoscale additive manufacturing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
