Development of advanced materials via entropy engineering

The recent and growing interests in the metals community regarding the concept of entropy stabilization of single-phase alloys has resulted in a surge of development of other high-entropy materials via entropy engineering. This paper first briefly introduces the basic concept of entropy engineering and then summarizes its application to materials design. Moreover, perspectives regarding the entropy engineering and possible research directions are also surmised. (C) 2019 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
