In the present study, we investigated the short-range order and the core structure of dislocations in body centered cubic (BCC) HEAs using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Special quasirandom structures (SQS) scheme was employed to mimic randomly-distributed five-component BCC-HEAs with equiatomic fraction. According to the phase stability based on DFT calculations, MoNbTaVW and ZrNbTaTiHf HEAs are taken as the typical cases of energetically stable and unstable BCC-HEAs.
