The partitioning of the alloying elements into the γ″ nanoparticles in a Ni2CoFeCrNb0.15 high entropy alloy was studied by the combination of atom probe tomography and first-principles calculations. The atom probe tomography results show that the Co, Fe, and Cr atoms incorporated into the Ni3Nb-type γ″ nanoparticles but their partitioning behaviors are significantly different. The Co element is much easier to partition into the γ″ nanoparticles than Fe and Cr elements. The first-principles calculations demonstrated that the different partitioning behaviors of Co, Fe and Cr elements into the γ″ nanoparticles resulted from the differences of their specific chemical potentials and bonding states in the γ″ phase.

AbstractThe interface between topological and normal insulators hosts metallic states that appear due to the change in band topology. While topological states at a surface, i.e., a topological insulator-air/vacuum interface, have been studied intensely, topological states at a solid-solid interface have been less explored. Here we combine experiment and theory to study such embedded topological states (ETSs) in heterostructures of GeTe (normal insulator) and $$\hbox {Sb}_2$$ Sb 2 $$\hbox {Te}_3$$ Te 3 (topological insulator). We analyse their dependence on the interface and their confinement characteristics. First, to characterise the heterostructures, we evaluate the GeTe-Sb$$_2$$ 2 Te$$_3$$ 3 band offset using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and chart the elemental composition using atom probe tomography. We then use first-principles to independently calculate the band offset and also parametrise the band structure within a four-band continuum model. Our analysis reveals, strikingly, that under realistic conditions, the interfacial topological modes are delocalised over many lattice spacings. In addition, the first-principles calculations indicate that the ETSs are relatively robust to disorder and this may have practical ramifications. Our study provides insights into how to manipulate topological modes in heterostructures and also provides a basis for recent experimental findings [Nguyen et al. Sci. Rep. 6, 27716 (2016)] where ETSs were seen to couple over thick layers.
