Abstract:
High entropy alloys, as a fundamentally
new material design concept, are a rapidly
growing field of research in recent years
with a wide range of possibilities for
tailoring new materials with interesting
combinations of properties. These almost
unlimited design options are based on the
alloy structure of five or more elements,
which can often be present in simple
crystal structures. After the original focus
on mechanical properties, the functional
properties of this exciting class of
materials are now coming to the fore.
Current examples are high entropy alloys
for electrocatalysis, hydrogen storage and
magnetic applications as well as high
entropy oxides for batteries.
The workshop will briefly introduce the
basics of high entropy materials and then
discuss the most exciting developments in
the field of functional materials.
