abstract = {We address the nature of the collective magnetic state in
an ideal high-entropy alloy (HEA), representing a
magnetically concentrated system with all lattice sites
occupied by localized magnetic moments and containing
randomness and frustration due to chemical disorder. Being a
“metallic glass on a topologically ordered lattice”,
HEAs possess simultaneously the properties of an ordered
crystal and an amorphous glass. The influence of this
crystal-glass duality on the collective magnetic state was
studied experimentally on a hexagonal Tb-Dy-Ho-Er-Tm (TDHET)
HEA, composed of rare-earth (RE) elements with zero pair
mixing enthalpies that assure completely random mixing of
the elements and very similar atomic radii that minimize
lattice distortions, representing a prototype of an ideal
HEA. The TDHET HEA is characterized by probability
distributions of the atomic moments , the exchange
interactions , the magnetocrystalline anisotropy , and the
dipolar interactions . Based on the measurements of the
static and dynamic magnetization, the magnetization curves,
the thermoremanent magnetization, the specific heat and the
magnetoresistance, we found that the collective magnetic
state of the TDHET is temperature-dependent, forming a
speromagnetic (SPM) state in the temperature range between
about 140 and 30 K and an asperomagnetic (ASPM) state below
20 K. In the intermediate temperature range between 30 and
20 K, a spin glass (SG) state is formed, representing a
transition state between the speromagnetic and
asperomagnetic states. The observed temperature evolution of
the magnetic ground state in the TDHET HEA upon cooling in
the sequence SPM→SG→ASPM is a result of
temperature-dependent, competing magnetic interactions. The
distribution of the exchange interactions shifts
continuously on the axis from the high-temperature SPM-type
with the average interaction biased towards a net negative
value, , through the SG-type with , to the low-temperature
ASPM-type with . This shift is a band-structure effect,
closely linked with the crystallinity of the spin system,
which the TDHET HEA shares with the topologically ordered
crystals. The probability distributions , , and are, on the
other hand, a consequence of chemical disorder, a property
that the TDHET HEA shares with the amorphous magnets. Both
features, the topologically ordered lattice and the
amorphous-type chemical disorder essentially determine the
magnetic state of an ideal, RE-based HEA.},
