Abstract

The laser ablation of a bulk CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy immersed in liquid yields colloidal nanoparticles with diameters below 5 nm. Both, the chemical composition and the crystal lattice of the bulk material is preserved in the nanoparticles.

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.
