Solid-Solution CrCoCuFeNi High-Entropy Alloy Thin Films Synthesized by Sputter Deposition
The concept of high configurational entropy requires that the high-entropy alloys (HEAs) yield single-phase solid solutions. However
phase separations are quite common in bulk HEAs. A five-element alloy
CrCoCuFeNi
was deposited via radio frequency magnetron sputtering and confirmed to be a single-phase solid solution through the high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction
energy-dispersive spectroscopy
wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy
and transmission electron microscopy. The formation of the solid-solution phase is presumed to be due to the high cooling rate of the sputter-deposition process.
