Abstract
This study discovers a reversible order-disorder transition (ODT) in a 10-component compositionally complex ceramic, (Nd0.15Pr0.15Dy0.8Ho0.8Er0.8Ti0.2Yb0.1Hf0.1Zr0.1Nb0.8)O7-δ, induced via annealing in oxidized vs. reduced environments at 1600 °C. Notably, the 10-cation oxide remains a homogenous single-phase high-entropy solid solution before and after the ODT in the pyrochlore vs. fluorite structure that can be quenched. In-situ neutron diffraction reveals the oxygen vacancy formation and atomic displacement during this ODT. This study reveals a new pathway to induce ODT via a redox transition to tailor the properties of compositionally complex fluorite-based oxides.
