Popis: Plastic deformation of HfNbTaTiZr body-centered cubic high-entropy alloy (BCC HEA) was investigated at 77 K. Tensile stress-strain curves showed strong temperature dependence of yield strength. Characteristics of dislocation slip at 77 K was analyzed using slip traces which confirmed active slip on {112} planes. The apparent activation volume (V*) suggested thermally activated kink/kink-pair nucleation at 77 K (V*~7b3). V* values of BCC HEA and pure Nb were nearly same at 77 K. Low-temperature plasticity of the BCC HEA showed characteristics of pure BCC metals, suggesting chemical-complexity of HEAs may not alter the Peierls potential of a/2 screw dislocations.
