Configurational entropy quantifies the number of accessible molecular arrangements within a system and is a critical parameter in understanding thermodynamic properties, binding affinities and ...

Three recent studies offer deeper understanding of thermodynamic behaviors with potential to impact materials engineering and energy systems. One shows how increasing elemental diversity in layered ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An experimental study of the configurational thermodynamics for a series of near-eutectic Pt80-xCuxP20 bulk metallic glass-forming alloys is ...

University of Oregon physicist Eric Corwin and a team of current and former students have used computer simulations to construct what they describe as the first “ideal glass,” a disordered material ...

High-entropy ceramics and oxides represent a burgeoning class of materials in which multiple principal elements are combined in near-equimolar ratios to form single-phase solid solutions. This ...

The term “high entropy” refers to the fact that these alloys contain five or more elements in roughly equal amounts, resulting in a complex microstructure and high configurational entropy. This high ...

A technology that increases hydrogen productivity using the “high entropy” principle has been developed. This technology is ...

The development history, characteristics and applications of high entropy alloys, high entropy oxides and high entropy MXenes are reviewed. High entropy materials as cathode, anode and electrolyte to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

The new review outlines how these materials boost stability, extend cycle life, and improve performance across lithium, sodium, potassium, and wide-temperature battery systems. Published in Nano-Micro ...
