  • In contrast to transition metal HEAs, these alloys lack solid solution strengthening effects, which is attributable to mismatches in the atomic size and electronic structure among the component elements.

    “In contrast to transition metal HEAs, these alloys lack solid solution strengthening effects, which is attributable to mismatches in the atomic size and electronic structure among the component elements 49,50 .”

    From Recent advances in high-entropy superconductors (2024) · cites this paper as [50]

    Section 4.1 (p. 11) supports negligible solid-solution strengthening in GdHoLaTbY compared with the fcc/bcc HEAs, but gives the opposite explanation: very small differences in atomic size and electronegativity mean weak elastic-strain and electronic-charge interactions. The Introduction (p. 4) likewise says the rare-earth elements differ little in electronic structure, not that mismatches cause the lack of strengthening. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The majority of HCP-type HEAs reported in the literature contain rare-earth atoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
