Abstract in brief

This study focuses on a special type of alloy called a nanocrystalline refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) made from W, Ta, Cr, V, and Hf, designed to withstand harsh irradiation and mechanical stress.
Using both experiments and computer simulations, the researchers found that this alloy remains stable at high temperatures, resists damage from radiation, and shows grain refinement when exposed to heavy ion irradiation, with minimal defect formation.
The results suggest that this combined approach can help in designing and evaluating other advanced alloys for use in extreme environments like nuclear reactors and space, ensuring they perform reliably under severe conditions.]
