Superconductivity and non-trivial band topology in high-entropy carbonitride Ti0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2Mo0.2W0.2C1-xNx
Open accessAbstract
High-entropy materials (HEMs) are widely recognized for their remarkable resistance to degradation and exceptional mechanical characteristics, rendering them valuable for use in challenging environments. Simultaneously, the investigation of novel attributes of HEMs has long been a crucial focus of scientific exploration. Based on this theoretical framework, we devised and produced a sequence of original bulk Ti 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 Mo 0.2 W 0.2 C 1-xNx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.45) superconductors. Furthermore, it has been observed that Ti 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 Mo 0.2 W 0.2 C 1-xNx HECN ceramics possess type-Ⅱ Dirac points in the electronic band structure, implying that these unique bulk HECN ceramics have potential as candidates to bridge superconductivity with topology. These discoveries enhance our comprehension of the physical properties and potential applications of HECN ceramics, thereby establishing them as a promising platform for exploring unconventional physics, such as band topology and superconductivity.

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.
