contents The exploration of multi-principal-component alloys (MPCAs) as potential functional materials in research is still in its early phase, with most studies centred on their potential application as structural materials. Magnetic materials possessing superior performance characteristics are essential for functional applications. Experimental observations and ab-initio density functional theory calculations were used to design and investigate an MPCA, AlCuFeMn, based on the medium-entropy effect. This study examines the microstructure evolution, phase formation, and soft magnetic behaviour of a cast and annealed AlCuFeMn MPCA. We conducted first-principles density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations to explain a selected multi-phase alloy's atomic, electronic, and magnetic structures at absolute zero temperature to understand the experimental findings better. We verified the predictions based on DFT by comparing them with the experimental observations. Despite the emphasis on equimolar compositions, the findings and conclusions of this study can enhance phase prediction and magnetic characteristics in non-equimolar alloys.
