The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $570,071 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Professor Schaak of Penn State University. The grant supports research to establish new methods for synthesizing nanoparticles containing five or more metallic elements, known as "high entropy nanoparticles." The research aims to understand how chemical reagents interact to form these compositionally complex nanoparticles and develop...
This $108,007 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research supports a collaborative research project to develop data-driven predictive models for understanding the oxidation resistance of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles. The project integrates experimental and computational datasets with targeted synthesis to investigate the interplay between elemental segregation, migration, and oxidation behavior in these novel alloy materials. The goal is to...
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...
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.
