  On the premise that amorphous-HEA composites could demonstrate high toughness
and resistance to embrittlement akin to the phase separating glassy-solid
solution composites, we develop a thermodynamics based approach to identify
chemical compositions capable of undergoing the amorphous to HEA
transformation. We introduce two new parameters called phase selection value
(PSV) and molar volume dispersity parameter. Using this thermodynamic approach
seven multi-component compositions were proposed and the general guidelines for
identifying such compositions was established. The approach also reveals that
BMGs may not be as such amenable to undergo an amorphous to HEA transformation.
