This $359,907 three-year project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research by the University of Alabama to characterize the chemical short-range order in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys. The research aims to evaluate two key hypotheses: 1) that short-range order in MPEAs reaches a stable state independent of fabrication conditions, and 2) that the relaxation...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Illinois a $150,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research on nanoscale structural and compositional instability-driven ductility in refractory high-entropy alloys. The research will develop an atomic-level understanding of how the manufacturing of refractory high-entropy alloys relates to their ductility and tensile strength properties. It will also seek to...
This $524,534 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research funds a collaborative research effort between The Johns Hopkins University and the University of California, Santa Barbara to elucidate high temperature deformation mechanisms in refractory multi-principal-element alloys. The research aims to develop a fundamental scientific understanding of the ultrahigh temperature (up to 1500°C) mechanical behavior of this new class of alloy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to understand the phenomenology and micromechanisms of interstitial strengthening in face-centered cubic (FCC) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium-entropy alloys (MEAs). The $179,728 award to Trustees of Dartmouth College will fund experiments to determine the effects of interstitials like carbon and boron on the mechanical properties and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $159,465 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to investigate how compositional complexity and processing conditions can be used to control cation inversion in high entropy spinel oxides. The primary goal is to understand how this disorder at the atomic level influences the magnetic and electronic properties of these advanced materials, in order to enable their...
This $108,007 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research aims to develop reliable predictive models for understanding the oxidation behavior of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles. The project, which began on September 15, 2024 and will conclude by August 31, 2025, leverages experimental and computational datasets along with targeted nanoparticle synthesis to gain fundamental knowledge on how elemental segregation and migration impact the...
This $390,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Georgetown University to develop novel high entropy alloy phases with strong magnetic anisotropy for potential application as magnetic recording media. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the three-year award will employ an iterative high-throughput approach combining combinatorial thin film synthesis, characterization, simulation and machine learning to efficiently survey the vast compositional...
This $200,427 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research by the University of Southern California (USC) on the microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms of strong yet ductile nanolamellar high-entropy alloys produced through additive manufacturing. The key objectives are to: 1) understand how laser printing protocols affect the solidification microstructure and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $390,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Iowa State University to conduct a fundamental, in-situ quantitative study of coupled severe plastic deformation, nanostructure evolution, and phase transformations in titanium, titanium-zirconium alloys, and an aluminum-iron-cobalt-nickel-copper high entropy alloy. The research will involve experiments using a dynamic rotational diamond anvil...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research awarded a $456,786 Project Grant to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to investigate robust superconductivity in high-entropy alloys under high pressure and low temperature conditions. The work aims to provide a fundamental understanding of superconducting phenomena in these novel materials, with the goal of tailoring their microstructure using 3D printing techniques to enhance their ability to generate high...
