Local lattice distortions have, however, only rarely been investigated in these multi-component alloys. We, therefore, employ a combined theoretical electronic structure and experimental approach to study the atomistic distortions in the FeCoNiCrMn high entropy (Cantor) alloy by means of density-functional theory and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Particular attention is paid to element-resolved distortions for each constituent. The individual mean distortions are small on average, &lt;1%, but their fluctuations (i.e., standard deviations) are an order of magnitude larger, in particular for Cr and Mn. Good agreement between theory and experiment is found.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e18090321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,2]],"date-time":"2016-09-02T10:01:56Z","timestamp":1472810516000},"page":"321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":191,"title":["Lattice Distortions in the FeCoNiCrMn High Entropy Alloy Studied by Theory and Experiment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hyun","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-744, Korea"},{"name":"Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Eisenforschung GmbH, 40237 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}]},{"given":"Duancheng","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Eisenforschung GmbH, 40237 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}]},{"given":"Gerard","family":"Leyson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Eisenforschung GmbH, 40237 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}]},{"given":"Blazej","family":"Grabowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Eisenforschung GmbH, 40237 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8520-2012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-744, Korea"}]},{"given":"Fritz","family":"K\u00f6rmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Delft University of Technology, Mekelweg 2, 2628 CD Delft, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Dierk","family":"Raabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Eisenforschung GmbH, 40237 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Murty, B.S., Yeh, W.J., and Ranganathan, S.
