In this work, a design strategy based on a typical multi-principal element alloy (Fe 50 Mn 30
Co 10 Cr 10, at.%) was proposed to tune the irradiation behavior by adding interstitial …

Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding
properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their …

In this work, the radiation responses of Zr/Nb nanostructured metallic multilayers (NMMs) are
studied. The nanostructures with different layer thicknesses were deposited on Si (1 1 1) …

High-entropy materials represent the state-of-the-art on the alloy design strategy for future
