Abstract

Short-range order (SRO) is a critical driver of properties (e.g., corrosion resistance and tensile strength) in multicomponent alloys such as complex concentrated alloys (CCAs). Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) is a powerful technique well suited for quantifying this SRO. Here, we described in detail the characteristics of CCAs that make the already challenging task of analyzing EXAFS data even more difficult. We then illustrate novel paths toward robust and scalable quantitative SRO analysis that will accelerate the scientific understanding and development of CCAs.
