Abstract:
As a promising candidate for next-generation aviation structural materials, lightweight refractory high entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit high strength, low density, and excellent high-temperature performance. In this study, we investigated the influence of local chemical ordering on the properties of Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Al HEAs using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We established that the chemical short-range ordering (SRO) in Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Al HEAs increases with the Al content, resulting in a gradual increase in stacking fault energy (SFE). This theoretical investigation suggests that SRO can be utilized to tailor the performance of HEAs, thereby providing guidance for the scientific design of macroscopic mechanical properties.

Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
