MAX phases are a family of ternary carbide or nitride ceramics possessing a layered crystal
structure and, due to their chemical bonds having a mixed covalent-ionic-metallic nature …

The MAB phases are atomically layered, ternary or quaternary transition metal (M) borides
(TMBs), with the general formula (MB) 2 z A x (MB2) y (z= 1–2; x= 1–2; y= 0–2), whose …

The MAX phases are a group of layered ternary compounds with the general formula Mn+
1AXn (M: early transition metal; A: group A element; X: C and/or N; n= 1–3), which combine …

This article is a critical review of the Mn+ 1AXn phases (“MAX phases”, where n= 1, 2, or 3)
from a materials science perspective. MAX phases are a class of hexagonal-structure …

The CRC Materials Science and Engineering Handbook, Third Edition is the most
comprehensive source available for data on engineering materials. Organized in an easy-to …

In recent years, MAX phases, a family of nanolaminate materials, have garnered
tremendous research interest worldwide, due to the fact that they possess an excellent …

The more than 60 ternary carbides and nitrides, with the general formula M n+ 1AX n—
where n= 1, 2, or 3; M is an early transition metal; A is an A-group element (a subset of …

Herein, we report on the phase stabilities and crystal structures of two newly discovered
ordered, quaternary MAX phases—Mo 2 TiAlC 2 and Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3—synthesized by …

This study explored the phase stability of TM 3 AlC 2 (TM= Ti, Zr and Hf) and related ternary
competing MAX phases, as well as the elastic properties, ideal tensile strength, electronic …

Layered ternary carbides contain alternative stacking of structural slabs in the unit cells.
Many mechanical and structural features are inherited with respect to their binary carbide …
