Abstract

We are exploring how the interplay between mass and charge disorder affects the thermal conductivity of high entropy ceramics that have potential use as ultra-high temperature materials and their oxides. Recent experiments by our team, for example, have shown that the thermal conductivity of the entropy stabilized oxide (Mg_0.1Co_0.1Ni_0.1Cu_0.1Zn_0.1)O_0.5, termed J14, is reduced by the addition of a sixth cation Sc, Sn, Cr, Ge or Sb in an equi-molar proportion. Classical phonon transport theory cannot account for this reduction based on mass scattering alone. Therefore we have been using molecular dynamics simulations to gain a better insight of the combined effects of disorder in mass and in electrostatic interactions on phonon-mediated thermal conductivity for these systems.
