High-Entropy Materials Advances and Applications

Research in the field of high-entropy materials is advancing rapidly. High-Entropy Materials: Advances and Applications focuses on materials discovered using the high-entropy alloys (HEA) strategy. It discusses various types of high-entropy materials, such as face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) HEAs, films and coatings, fibers, and powders and hard-cemented carbides, along with current research status and applications: • Describes, compositions and processing of high-entropy materials. • Summarizes industrially valuable alloys found in high-entropy materials that hold promise for promotion and application. • Explains how high-entropy materials can be used in many fields and can outperform traditional materials. This book is aimed at researchers, advanced students, and academics in materials science and engineering and related disciplines.

Yong Zhang obtained his PhD from the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). After postdoctoral work at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, he worked as a research fellow at the National University of Singapore as part of the Singapore-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Alliance. He became a professor at the USTB in 2004 and received an award from the Ministry of Education of China under the New Century Excellent Talents (NCET) in Universities program in 2005. His main research interest is the development of new materials in bulk, film, and fiber forms by using the high-entropy and materials-genome-initiative (MGI) strategies.
