We report the synthesis and characterization of metal deficient (TiZrHfNbTa)B high-entropy diborides (HEBs). A single homogeneous AlB-type phase is successfully obtained over the range of 0.03 0.18. With increasing , the unit-cell volume exhibits a nonmonotonic variation with a maximum at = 0.07. These metal-deficient HEBs possess high Vickers hardness of 16.6-18.9 GPa at a load of 9.8 N and their phase stability is attributed to the increased mixing entropy. Our results not only present the first series of metal-deficient AlB-type HEBs, but also suggest the existence of similar multicomponent diborides.
