Fig. 1 Schematic structure of the SAE model in a body-center-cubic (BCC) lattice of Fe-28Mn-18.5Al (wt%) quaternary alloy. a 3D views of the configurational transitions of the Al clusters via atomic rearrangements, including ten random arrangements. b Topological structure of Fe and Al atoms in the crystal lattice of A2, B2, D03,B32 and Fe13Al3 phases. The various colors characterize the different kinds of alloying elements for the given equiatomic Fe-Mn-Al BCC MEA alloy, which are kept consistently in the following related figures. In particular, the Fe, Mn and Al elements are in yellow, purple and green, respectively. Meanwhile, the free energies of 10 random arrangement configurations were obtained by first-principles calculations

Fig. 3 Bonding-charge-density isosurface of five selected configurations for the random solutions of the given BCC Fe-Mn-Al MEA in a 3D view, respectively. a Isosurfaces in red display the atomic sites absorbing electrons (Δρ > 0), while b the isosurfaces in blue identify the atomic sites contributing electrons (Δρ < 0). Those solid ellipses highlight the weak bond features caused by the chemical (solute atoms) and the mechanical (local lattice distortion) contributions. The red, green and blue dash ellipses highlight the different bonding features of the Fe, Al and Mn atoms, respectively. In particular, the Fe, Mn and Al elements are in yellow, purple and green, respectively. Meanwhile, the free energies of 5 stable random arrangement configurations were obtained by first-principles calculations
