If you have a question about this talk, please contact Mads Fonager Hansen. High-entropy compounds, stabilized by configurational entropy, have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties and functionalities [1-3]. In this study, we applied the high-entropy concept to antimonide systems and discovered an entropy-stabilized antimonide compound with a NiAs-type structure [4]. Specifically, we investigated the superconducting properties of (RuRhPdIr)₁₋ₓPtₓSb and found that the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and upper critical field (Hc₂) exhibit strong composition dependence [5]. A maximum Tc of 3.1 K and a significant enhancement in Hc₂ were observed at intermediate compositions, indicating a novel “cocktail effect” arising from chemical disorder. These results demonstrate the potential of entropy engineering in designing new superconducting materials. [1] J. W. Yeh et al., Adv Eng Mater 6, 299 (2004). [2] B.
