Borides are extensively employed in applications demanding exceptionally high hardness, which arises from the unique and strong crystallographic arrangement of boron atoms therein. Addition of multiprincipal elements in borides is expected to enhance their structural properties due to lattice distortion and high configurational entropy. In contrast, we unravel a phenomenon of elastic softening in refractory multicomponent borides from first-principle predictions, which concur with experimentally ...[more]
