Abstract
High entropy ceramics have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their superior physical properties. In this work, a novel high entropy pyrochlore (Lu0.2Y0.2Gd0.2Eu0.2Sm0.2)2Ti2O7 (HTP-1) was designed and prepared. Sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive spectrometry. The results show that single-phase HTP-1 is successfully synthesized and exhibits severe lattice distortion. The Vickers hardness of HTP-1 measured by the microhardness tester is ∼ 922.28 Hv, which is significantly higher than the result calculated with the mixture rule, demonstrating that high entropy pyrochlore has high mechanical hardness. In-situ TEM was performed on HTP-1 irradiated with 800 keV Kr2+ at room temperature to investigate irradiation resistance of sample. The critical amorphization dose of HTP-1 is 0.27 dpa, which indicates the irradiation resistance of HTP-1 is between Sm2Ti2O7 and Y2Ti2O7.
