Method to Identify the Phase Structures of High Entropy Alloys with Modified Lattice Distortion Enthalpy

Severe lattice distortion is one of important characteristics of high entropy alloys (HEAs) and exercises considerable influence over phase structures, and atomic volume V is thought to be the key factor for lattice distortion. In the present work, the calculation of V was modified by taking the stacking density effects into consideration, and the calculation of lattice distortion enthalpy ( ∆ H LD ) caused by elastic lattice distortion for HEAs...
