Abstract
The role of anharmonic effects on the phase stability of VNbMoTaW high-entropy alloy (HEA) is evaluated by extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD) combined with the phonon quasiparticle theory. We find that the anharmonic effects have a positive effect on the phase stability of the HEAs. The study of subsystem alloys reveals that the strong interactions between W and Nb or Ta promote positive contributions of anharmonic effects. Further studies also reveal that the anharmonic effects are an important driving factor of the ordered B2(MoW, TaNb) phase transformation. These findings provide novel insights into the phase stability of HEAs.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
