Summary on Grant Application Form |
Technological advances and indeed new periods of civilisation are inextricably linked to new materials which open up new possibilities because of the superior properties they exhibit. High-entropy alloys are a recently discovered class of materials. These are electronically complex materials because of the high degree of disorder whereby the crystal structure is still based on a face-centred cubic structure but each lattice point is randomly occupied by one of typically five different elements with equal probability. This disorder has a large impact on the electronic properties (including magnetism) and a future exploitation demands a detailed understanding of way their electrons behave and the nature of the magnetism at an atomic scale. At the moment, insight into their magnetic order at the atomic scale has come almost entirely from computer simulations rather than experiment, and basic ideas have not been experimentally tested. We aim to rectify this by probing their magnetism using light from a synchrotron. By doing this, it is hoped that we will be able to establish a firm basis for future technological exploitation.
