High-entropy alloys and the periodic table of elements

To select the compositions of high-entropy alloys (HEA) consisting of five or more elements, it is necessary to use methods that take into account many variables and the complexity of assessing the relationships between them. Based on chemical information approaches to the analysis of Web of Science databases, data on the frequency of use of chemical elements in the described HEAs were obtained, which allow us to determine trends in the research and development of new materials.
