Dubois, Jean-Marie / Belin-Ferré, Esther / Urban, Knut![Complex Metallic Alloys](https://support.digitalhusky.com/media/annotations/sorted/557/5579601/CHSBZCOP035579601.jpg)
Complex metallic alloys (CMA) encompass a broad family of crystalline compounds made of metals, alloyed with other elements from the periodic table. As opposed to simple crystals, such as diamond and sodium chloride, CMAs possess a complicated microscopic structure that leads to unexpected novel physical and chemical properties. This makes them promising candidates for such applications as thermoelectric devices, scratchproof surfaces or CMA-r...
