“…In fact, only dozens of compositions with the conventional metallic elements such as Al, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Ni, Nb, W, Ti, V, Mo and Zr were reported hitherto to satisfy the HEA-formation criteria [7,8]. The high entropy effect can significantly reduce the free energy of simple solid-solution phases at high temperature, leading to strong thermal stability on both structure and properties in HEAs [9][10][11][12]. Owing to the same opportunity for each constituent element to occupy the lattice sites, the mismatch of atomic sizes and chemical bonds can lead to a severe distorted lattice structure in HEAs [13,14].…”
