Role of Chemical Short‐Range Order in Point‐Defect Formation Energetics of CrCoNi Medium‐Entropy Alloy
The formation energy of point defects is a key parameter governing their concentration, stability, and evolution under both equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. In medium‐ and high‐entropy alloys (M/HEAs), intrinsic chemical complexity produces a broad distribution of defect‐formation energies, in contrast to the...
