In the present study, we systematically investigated the effect of entropy of mixing (ΔS mix ) on the mechanical and thermal properties of single phase FCC solid solutions with multi-principal elements. An increase in ΔS mix led to an increase in micro-hardness and a decrease in thermal conductivity (κ) due to severe lattice distortion. Furthermore, NiCoFeCrMn high-entropy alloy (HEA) exhibited the highest κ 1 /κ e ratio of ~1.13, because with increasing ΔS mix the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity (κ 1 ) was less than that of electron thermal conductivity (κe). In particular, a crossover in the properties` variation was noticeable at a specific ΔS mix of ~8.3±0.3 J/mol·K, which means the properties of single phase FCC solid solutions can be optimized by modulating ΔS mix . The results can provide a guideline for manipulating the properties of single solid solutions using the HEA design concept, and help develop novel materials with optimal properties that are usable in extreme environments.
