Since the discovery of superconductivity in a high-entropy alloy (HEA) Ti-Zr-Nb-Hf-Ta in 2014, the community of superconductor science has explored new HEA superconductors to find the merit of the HEA states on superconducting properties. Since 2018, we have developed “HEA-type” compounds as superconductors or thermoelectric materials. As well known, compounds like intermetallic compounds or layered compounds are composed of multi crystallographic sites. In a HEA-type compounds, one or more sites are alloyed and total mixing entropy satisfies with the criterion of HEA. Herein, we summarize the synthesis methods, the crystal structural variation and superconducting properties of the HEA-type compounds, which include NaCl-type metal tellurides, CuAl2-type transition metal zirconides, high-Tc cuprates, and BiS2-based layered superconductors. The effects of the introduction of a HEA site in various kinds of complicated compounds are discussed from the structural-dimensionality viewpoint.

ABSTRACTWe have discovered 24 K-superconductivity in a family of compounds Ln2−xCexCuO4−y (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm). Novel feature of the superconductivity in these family of compounds is that superconductivity is produced by electron-doping in sharp contrast with high-Tc cuprates discovered so far. The effect of doping on physical properties particularly the elecronic phase diagram and transport coefficients which indicate symmetry in many respects between electron- and hole- doping is described.

By changing the concentration of mobile charge carriers, applied electric fields influence the transport properties of high-T c superconductors in the superconducting state. Experimental studies of these effects are briefly reviewed.

Mechanical alloying (MA) is a high-energy ball milling process results in the obtaining of simple and stable microstructures having increased homogeneity compared to other non-equilibrium synthesis methods. The aim of this paper was to develop a high entropy alloy with an improved hardness value suitable for coating turbine blades working in geothermal steam. CoCrFeNiMo high entropy alloy was processed in solid state, using mechanical alloying. After 40h milling time in a planetary ball mill the alloyed sample was consolidated using spark plasma sintering process. The samples obtained were investigated with the aid of optical and electron microscope, X ray diffraction and the hardness value was determined. The results obtained revealed that the powder was completely alloyed after 40 hour milling and the mixture between BCC and FCC phases resulted in 34% improved hardness value in comparison with a stainless steel usually used for turbine blades working in geothermal environment.

<div>Renewable harvesting clean and hydrogen energy using the benefits of novel multicatalytic materials of high entropy alloy (HEA equimolar Cu-Ag-Au-Pt-Pd) from formic acid with minimum energy input has been achieved in the present investigation. The synthesis effect of pristine elements in the HEA drives the electro-oxidation reaction towards non-carbonaceous pathway . The atomistic simulation based on DFT rationalize the distinct lowering of the d-band center for the individual atoms in the HEA as compared to the pristine counterparts. This catalytic activity of the HEA has also been extended to methanol electro-oxidation to show the unique capability of the novel catalyst. The nanostructured HEA, properties using a combination of casting and cry omilling techniques can further be utilized as fuel cell anode in direct formic acid/methanol fuel cells (DFFE).<br></div>
