Here we investigated interfacial reactions and interdiffusion of titanium/gold ohmic contacts with a tin-doped single-crystal β-Ga2O3 (010) substrate. After annealing at 470 °C for 1 min in N2 to form an ohmic contact, we studied the interface via scanning transmission electron microscopy and transmission electron mic…

We developed a series of Co-rich CoxCr25(FeNi)75−x (x = 35, 45, 55, 65) high entropy alloys with improved strength and/or ductility, derived from lowering the stacking fault energy (SFE) and reducing the fcc phase stability of the equiatomic CoCrFeNi alloy. Thermodynamics and ab initio calculations demonstrated that i…
