Advancements in High-Entropy Alloy Targets for Enhanced Material Coatings

I. Introduction High-entropy alloys (HEAs) represent a paradigm shift in alloy design. Unlike traditional alloys that rely on a dominant elemental component, HEAs are composed of five or more principal elements in near-equiatomic or equimolar ratios. This unique composition results in high-entropy solid solutions with superior properties not achievable by conventional alloys. The concept of...
