Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful first edition of this Special Issue of Crystals, we are pleased to announce that submissions to its second edition, entitled "Advances of High Entropy Alloys (2nd Edition)", are now being accepted.
In the past decade, the sudden rise of high entropy alloys (HEAs) has become a research hotspot in the domain of metal materials. HEAs are generally considered to be composed of five or more principal elements and the atomic percentage of each principal element is between 5 at.% and 35 at.%. This unique design concept means that these alloys exhibit high entropy effects in regard to thermodynamics and other characteristics, such as the lattice distortion effect, the sluggish diffusion effect and cocktail effect. Owing to their remarkable and peculiar characteristics, HEAs exhibit excellent properties, such as balanced strength and ductility, wear resistance, anti-oxidation and outstanding corrosion resistance.
We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on “High Entropy Alloys”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum, covering broad aspects of the science, technology, and application of high entropy alloys.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis of high entropy alloys;
- Characteristics of structural properties;
- Excellent properties;
- Applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
