Fig. 2: Strain-induced lattice evolution of various samples with a different number of principal elements.
From: Elastic strain-induced amorphization in high-entropy alloys
a1–3 The elastic strain-induced amorphization in the quinary TiHfZrNbTa sample, and the insets in a1–3 show the initial BCC lattice, the BCT lattice before the onset of the amorphization, and the FFT of the produced disordered structure, respectively. b1–3 The elastic strain-induced amorphization in the ternary TiZrNb alloy sample, and the insets in b1-3 show the FFT of the initial BCC lattice, the BCT lattice before the onset of the amorphization, and the FFT of the amorphous segment. c1–3 The crystalline phase transformation from BCC to face-centered cubic (FCC) in the binary ZrNb sample, and the insets in c1–3 show the FFT of the initial BCC lattice, the resulting FCC lattice and an enlarged view of the fractured sample, respectively. The FCC lattice is retained after fracture.
