The understanding of the structure and the stability of high entropy alloys is still incomplete and the mechanisms behind the composition-property relationships are unclear. One reason is that few systematic and accurate determinations of their composition-dependent structure on atomic level have been made. In this paper some results on the structure obtained by X-ray and neutron diraction of the CoCrFeNi alloy, to which Pd, Sn and Cu have been added in dierent amounts, are reported. The investigations make it obvious that none of the alloys is completely homogeneous, as has earlier been suggested, and that they do not form a perfect solid solution.
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.
