W-Cr-Y smart alloys are potential material candidates for plasma facing components due to their protective behaviour during the loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), while maintaining beneficial properties of W during the normal operation of the fusion power plant. During plasma exposure the lighter alloying elements are preferentially sputtered at t…

Multi-component alloy Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni is a promising new candidate system not only because of its potential application as structural materials beyond conventional austenitic steels but also for fundamental physics role played by Mn element in Fe-Cr-Ni based alloys. In this work, the phase stability of magnetic face-centered cubic (fcc) Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni sys…

The structure and phase stability of binary tungsten-vanadium and tungsten-tantalum alloys are investigated over a broad range of alloy compositions using ab initio and cluster expansion methods. The alloys are characterized by the negative enthalpy of mixing across the entire composition range. Complex intermetallic compounds are predicted by ab i…
