(b) Calculated configurational entropy in an N -component solid solutions as a function of mol% of the Nth component, and (c – g) partial phase diagrams showing the transition temperature to ...

This has some pretty bizarre consequences. If you could maximize the entropy in the system, temperature becomes discontinuous—it jumps from positive to negative infinity.

To meet the demand of ultrahigh-temperature thermal insulation, a novel porous dual-phase high-entropy ultrahigh-temperature ceramic (TiZrHfNbTa)C-(TiZrHfNbTa)B2 with outstanding merits is ...

Thermal insulation material is a critical part in thermal protection system (TPS) of the hypersonic vehicles. Recently, high-entropy ceramics has attracted great attentions in thermal insulation ...
