Design and Development of High Entropy Materials

High-entropy materials (HEMs), including high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and high-entropy ceramics (HECs), are multicomponent systems that occupy the uncharted regions of phase diagrams. These materials are an exciting and vibrant field of research, focused on the development of new structural materials and functional properties. This special topic focuses on the design and development of HEMs. Topics can include but are not limited to the challenges and future directions for developing HEMs, such as HEAs/HECs magnets, HEAs/HECs thermoelectric, HEAs/HECs as coatings and structural materials.
