This paper reviews the recent research and development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs).
HEAs are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal …

Serration and noise behaviors in plastically deforming solids are related to avalanches of
deformation processes. In the stress-strain curves, the serration characteristics are visible as …

Yield stress materials flow if a sufficiently large shear stress is applied. Although such
materials are ubiquitous and relevant for industry, there is no accepted microscopic …

Prior to macroscopic yielding, most materials undergo a regime of plastic activity that cannot
be resolved in conventional bulk deformation experiments. In this pre-yield, or micro-plastic …

Recent experimental and theoretical progress on the study of crackling noise in the plastic
deformation of crystals, ferroelastics, and porous materials is reviewed. We specifically point …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are new alloys that contain five or more elements in roughly-
equal proportion. We present new experiments and theory on the deformation behavior of …

We study the properties of strain bursts (dislocation avalanches) occurring in two-
dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics models under quasistatic stress-controlled …

Crystal plasticity is mediated through dislocations, which form knotted configurations in a
complex energy landscape. Once they disentangle and move, they may also be impeded by …

We present direct experimental signatures of a nonequilibrium phase transition associated
with the yield point of a prototypical soft solid—a binary colloidal glass. By simultaneously …

We give a bird's-eye view of the plastic deformation of crystals aimed at the statistical
physics community, as well as a broad introduction to the statistical theories of forced rigid …
