| contents | Since the first report of a high entropy alloy (HEA) superconductor in 2014, HEAs have continued to captivate the interest of superconducting researchers. Owing to the significant degree of disorder inherent in these systems, they serve as exemplary models for examining the properties of materials that exist in states intermediate between crystalline and amorphous structures. Here we present the superconductivity properties and crystal structure of TaNbHfZrAl and TiHfNbTaAl HEAs, which both have the VEC of 4.2 and body centered cubic (BCC) structure. Through resistivity, magnetic, and specific heat measurements, we prove that both samples are the bulk type-II superconductors with a critical temperature Tc of 5.5 K for TaNbHfZrAl and Tc of 3.2 K for TiHfNbTaAl. The Tc of HEA superconductors is influenced by the VEC and the element composition. And the incorporation of Al in high disorder HEA superconductors causes a more crystallinelike Tc dependence. |
