Simultaneously enhancing the ultimate strength and ductility of high-entropy alloys via short-range ordering

The strength-ductility trade-off has been a long-standing problem for alloy development. Here the authors present a route for designing high-entropy alloys to overcome this trade-off via short-range ordering shown by combined Monte Carlo, molecular dynamic, and density-functional theory simulations.
