Abstract High‐entropy materials defy historical design paradigms by leveraging chemical disorder to kinetically stabilize novel crystalline solid solutions comprised of many end‐members. Formulational diversity results in local crystal structures that are seldom found conventional and can strongly influence macroscopic physical properties. Thermodynamically prescribed flexibility provides a means tune such Additionally, kinetic metastability possible atomic arrangements, including both...

We unravel the distinct roles each cation plays in phase evolution, stability, and properties within Mg1/5Co1/5Ni1/5Cu1/5Zn1/5O high-entropy oxide (HEO) by integrating experimental findings, thermodynamic analyses, first-principles predictions. Our approach is through sequentially removing one at a time from five-component to create five four-component derivatives. Bulk synthesis experiments indicate that Mg, Ni, Co act as rock salt stabilizers whereas only Mg Ni enthalpically enhance...
