Abstract
The chemical short-range orders (CSRO) are the sub-nanosized entities inherent in high-/medium-entropy alloys (H/MEA). To discern CSRO poses the challenge with pending issues as to under what zone axis in electron diffraction, signature scattering specific to CSRO will appear and what the structure motif of CSRO is. Here, we show extra diffuse scattering by CSRO from [111] and [112] directions in a VCoNi MEA and accordingly, construct the -type structure motif, and derive the spacial shape of flat cuboid of CSRO in virtue of diffractions under varying zone axis. Moreover, we demonstrate the methods to identify CSRO in lattice images. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT The structure motif is constructed as -type for chemical short-range order in a medium-entropy alloy in terms of electron diffractions under the multiple zone axis.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Letters is a high impact, open access journal that focuses on the engineering and technology of materials, materials physics and chemistry, and novel and emergent materials. It supports the materials research community by publishing original and compelling research work. The journal provides fast communications on cutting-edge materials research findings, with a primary focus on advanced metallic materials and physical metallurgy. It also considers other materials such as intermetallics, ceramics, and nanocomposites. Materials Research Letters publishes papers with significant breakthroughs in materials science, including research on unprecedented mechanical and functional properties, mechanisms for processing and formation of novel microstructures (including nanostructures, heterostructures, and hierarchical structures), and the mechanisms, physics, and chemistry responsible for the observed mechanical and functional behaviors of advanced materials. The journal accepts original research articles, original letters, perspective pieces presenting provocative and visionary opinions and views, and brief overviews of critical issues.
