Researchers attributed the orderly arranged nanoscale phases observed in many multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) to spinodal/spinodal-mediated phase transformation pathways. However, spinodal decomposition is not well understood in multicomponent systems. Although the theoretical background is available, CALPHAD databases were not used to explore the miscibility gap in MPEAs. In this work, we develop a CALPHAD framework utilizing the Hessian of free energy to study the stability of solid solutions in MPEAs. In particular, we utilize the geometry of higher dimensional Gibbs simplex in conjunction with the Hessian to calculate concentration modulations in early stages of spinodal decomposition. We apply this framework to a diverse set of multiphase MPEAs that have been studied in the literature including TiZrNbTa (BCC/BCC), Fe15Co15Ni20Mn20Cu30 (FCC/FCC), Al0.5NbTa0.8Ti1.5V0.2Zr (BCC/B2), AlCo0.4Cr0.6FeNi (BCC/B2) and Al0.5Cr0.9FeNi2.5V0.2 (FCC/L1(2)). We show that the MPEA systems are unstable only to certain concentration modulations which could be further explored to design microstructurally engineered alloys.
