Abstract High-entropy ceramics (HECs) have shown great application potential under demanding conditions, such as high stresses and temperatures. However, the immense phase space poses challenges for rational design of new high-performance HECs. In this work, we develop machine-learning (ML) models to discover high-entropy ceramic carbides (HECCs). Built upon attributes HECCs their constituent precursors, our ML demonstrate a prediction accuracy (0.982). Using well-trained models, evaluate...

Metallic materials are mostly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement (HE), which severely deteriorates their mechanical properties and causes catastrophic failures with poor ductility. In this study, we found that such a long-standing HE problem can be effectively eliminated in the Fex(CrCoNi)1-x face-centered-cubic (fcc) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) by triggering localized segregation of Cr at grain boundaries (GBs). It was revealed increasing Fe concentration from 2.5 25 at. % leads...

Short-range order (SRO) is an important structural characteristic in multiprincipal element alloys (MPEAs) that plays a crucial role their superior mechanical and physical properties. The development of SRO usually tangled with evolution associated diffusion-induced atomic transport, making it challenging to accurately determine the diffusion coefficients MPEAs based on conventional modeling techniques. In this study, we combine machine learning kinetic Monte Carlo compute self-diffusion...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of metallic materials that demonstrate potentially very useful functional and structural properties. Sluggish diffusion, one the core effects responsible for their exotic properties, has been intensively debated. Here, we combination machine learning (ML) kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) can uncover complicated links between rough potential energy landscape (PEL) atomic transport in HEAs. The ML model accurately represents local environment dependence PEL,...

Ordered L12 γ' Ni3Al intermetallics are essential strengthening components to maintain the high strength of Ni-based superalloys and recently developed entropy alloys at elevated temperatures. Under service conditions, structural disorder is usually encountered in these intermetallics, resulting significant loss their functionality. Thus, retaining degree order vital for long-term reliability serviceability. In this study, atomistic simulations rate equation analysis employed highlight a...

Abstract It is extremely challenging to accomplish second‐harmonic generation (SHG) in the whole mid‐infrared (MIR) region for oxide crystals due their short IR absorption cutoff wavelengths. Herein, a new MIR nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal of K 4 ZnV 5 O 15 Cl (KZVC) designed and synthesized by aliovalent substitution [V III ] with [Zn II Cl] based on 2 (VO)(V 7 ) matrix. KZVC features an ordered 2D [ZnV ∞ layered structure comprising [ZnO / [VO square pyramids tetrahedron as functional...

Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), including high entropy alloys, show exceptional mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. These unusual are mostly attributed to their particular diffusion behaviors, such as sluggish diffusion. However, this phenomenon is still controversial. Although state-of-the-art simulations report that the percolation effect plays a crucial role in triggering binary whether correlation could be generalized broad class of MPEAs unknown. In work, we combine...
