The synthesis of multicomponent alloys, such as medium- and high-entropy alloys (MEAs and HEAs), out of a vast composition space is a daunting task. Here, we demonstrate a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) method for preparing MEAs and HEAs in a fast and high-throughput fashion. Typical bulk MEAs and HEAs are successfully synthesized within less than 40 s per alloy, thereby greatly improving the fabrication efficiency and throughput. This method provides a new opportunity for the accelerated discovery of new multi-principal element alloys. We also use the magnetron co-sputtering method to produce thin film HEAs. |
