  • Effective thermal management at variable and extreme temperatures face limitations for the development of novel energy and aerospace applications. Plasmonic approaches, shown to be capable of tailoring black-body emission, could be effective if materials with high-temperature and tunable plasmonic-resonance were available. Here, we report a synergy between experimental and theoretical results proving that many high-entropy transition-metal carbides, consisting of four or more metals at equal molar ratio, have plasmonic resonance at room, high (>1000C) and variable temperatures. We also found that these high-entropy carbides can be tuned and show considerable plasmonic thermal cycling stability. This paradigm-shift approach could prove quite advantageous as it facilitates the accelerated rational discovery and manufacturability of optically highly-optimized high-entropy carbides with ad-hoc properties.
