    We present nanoscale friction measurements performed on sputter-deposited high entropy alloy (HEA) sulfide thin films [(VNbTaMoW)S2] via atomic force microscopy. The results reveal (i) the influence of deposition time on the film morphology and (ii) the presence of isolated areas of low friction on film surfaces. We compare the friction results on HEA sulfide thin films with those on a prototypical solid lubricant, sputter-deposited molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and find that they are superior in terms of lubricative performance. Variable temperature x-ray diffraction, performed up to 973 K, reveals that HEA sulfide thin films exhibit improved oxidation resistance when compared with MoS2 films. Combined, our results show that HEA sulfide thin films have considerable potential as oxidation-resistant solid lubricant coatings.
