  We report on the production and characterization of a high-entropy alloy in
the refractory Zr-Nb-Ti-V-Hf system. Equiatomic ingots were produced by arc and
levitation melting, and were subsequently homogenized by high-temperature
annealing. We obtained a coarse-grained, single-phase high-entropy alloy, with
a homogeneous distribution of the constituting elements. The phase is a
chemically disordered solid solution, based on a bcc lattice with a lattice
parameter of 0.336(5) nm.
