Abstract
We performed high-precision measurements of the high-frequency (0.5 MHz) shear modulus of seven high-entropy metallic glasses (HEMGs) (mixing entropy 1.42≤ΔSmix/R≤1.77) in the initial, relaxed and crystalline states in a wide temperature range. It is shown that the shear modulus of HEMGs is intrinsically related with the evolution of the system of defects responsible for structural relaxation. In the absence of structural relaxation, temperature coefficient of the shear modulus of glass equals to that of the counterpart crystal. All found regularities are governed by a single equation, which establishes a relationship between the shear moduli of glass and crystal.
