Abstract

Lattice distortion is one of the four core effects responsible for the unprecedented mechanical behaviors of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Lattice distortion in HEAs has been investigated in experiments and estimated in theory. In this review, we focus on the lattice distortion based on available ab initio calculations. The degree of lattice distortion and its influence on the ground-state property, local magnetic moments, phase stability, and mechanical performance are reviewed in single-phase high-entropy alloys.
