Fig. 1: Distances as charges in high-entropy carbides.
From: Settling the matter of the role of vibrations in the stability of high-entropy carbides
Nearest-neighbor metal-carbon distances \({r}_{M{{{{{{{\rm{C}}}}}}}}}^{({{{{{{{\rm{nn}}}}}}}})}\) (black) and magnitude of the Bader charges (red) in high-entropy carbides \(\left({{{{{{{\rm{HfNbTaTi}}}}}}}}R\right){{{{{{{\rm{C}}}}}}}}\) (HEC-R) and their constituent rock-salt binaries MC: a HEC-V, b HEC-W, c HEC-Zr. The dashed lines represent the average between the binary carbides. The error bars represent standard deviations and are smaller than the point size for the individual metal charges. The data points for C display nearest-neighbor carbon-metal distances. d Relative standard deviation of the carbon−carbon (C–C), metal-carbon (M–C), and metal-metal (M–M) distance distributions within the HECs.
