The high entropy effect is often insufficient to fully stabilize single-phase solid solutions (SPSS), yielding only few, mostly metastable SPSS. While the prospective space of favorable SPSS formation is smaller than commonly assumed, larger degrees of metastability can open up the vast High Entropy...
