On correlations between local chemistry, distortions and kinetics in high entropy nitrides: An ab initio study

Atomic Radius Mismatch: A Key Parameter for Design and Synthesis of High‐Entropy Physical Vapor Deposition Coatings—Review

“…However, the properties of an element in its pure state can differ from those in a solid solution state. [4] These four core effects can lead HEMs to have distinctive properties compared to conventional ones, but do not solely depend on the number of elements (i.e., the configuration entropy) [14] also the type of elements involved is decisive. Because of these unique effects, HEMs can demonstrate prominent characteristics such as high hardness, [15][16][17][18] good wear resistance, [19][20][21] excellent corrosion resistance, [22][23][24][25] outstanding thermal stability, [26][27][28] excellent oxidation resistance, [29][30][31] and could be utilized in various applications including solar absorbers, [32][33][34][35][36][37] fuel cells, [25,38] thermal barriers, [39,40] diffusion barriers, [41][42][43] lithium-ion batteries, [44] antiglass sticking, [21,45] microdrills, [46] and medical applications.…”
