An overview of modeling the stacking faults in lightweight and high-entropy alloys: Theory and application

Modeling stacking faults in lightweight and medium- to high-entropy alloys is an exciting and fast developing field. Stacking faults and associated defects play a key role in understanding and modeling mechanical properties of alloys. We review the recent the studies of stacking faults, dislocations and twins in the novel alloys. Although this Review is focused on the theories and their applications in modeling stacking faults, relevant...
