Summary
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are complex materials that have rapidly advanced materials science. Researchers are evaluating if their complexity offers advantages over simpler systems or hinders their purpose.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Alloy Design
- Nanotechnology
Background:
- High-entropy alloys (HEAs) emerged two decades ago based on the concept that chemical complexity can stabilize materials.
- This field has rapidly evolved, finding applications in structural, functional, and catalytic areas.
