Twinning in metastable high-entropy alloys

Twinning has been experimentally seen in high-entropy alloys, but understanding how it operates remains a challenge. Here, the authors show that twinning can be a primary deformation mechanism in three well-known medium- and high-entropy alloys that have unstable face-centered cubic lattices.
