Exploring thermophysical properties of CoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloy via molecular dynamics simulations.

ABSTRACT: High entropy alloys (HEAs) are alloys composed of five or more primary elements in equal or nearly equal proportions of atoms. In the present study, the thermophysical properties of the CoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloy (HEA) were investigated by a molecular dynamics (MD) method at nanoscale. The effects of the content of individual elements on lattice thermal conductivity k _p were revealed, and the results suggested that adjusting the atomic content can be a way to control the lattice thermal conductivity of HEAs. The effects of temperature on k _p were investigated quantitively, and a power-law relationship of k _p with T ^-0.419 was suggested, which agrees with previous findings. The effects of temperature and the content
