Possible conversion of the charge carriers in high-entropy alloy Al0.5CoCuCrNiFe
National Science Center Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology, 61108 Kharkiv, Ukraine,
A complex study of the temperature dependences of electrical conductivity, thermo-EMF and thermal conductivity in the high-entropy alloy Al0.5CoCuCrNiFe have been carried out in order to established the nature of the anomalies of the kinetic coefficients in the temperature range ~ 300...77 K. It is shown that, as the temperature is lowered from ~ 210 K to ~ 170 K, these characteristics exhibit anomalies, the signs of which indicate an increase in the rate of growth of electrical conductivity and a slowdown in the decrease in thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity. A concept is proposed to explain the discovered anomalies by the hole-electron (h → e) conversion in the carrier system. Data on the effect of rolling deformation on kinetic coefficients have been obtained.
