The M n+ 1 AX n, or MAX, phases are nanolayered, hexagonal, machinable, early transition-
metal carbides and nitrides, where n= 1, 2, or 3, M is an early transition metal, A is an A …

More than a decade after the discovery of MXene, there has been a remarkable increase in
research on synthesis, characterization, and applications of this growing family of two …

The MAX phases are a class of nanolaminated materials composed of an early transition-
metal (M), an A-group element (A) and C, N, B and/or P (X). Progress in MAX phase …

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 …

MXenes, a relatively new class of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides,
carbonitrides, and nitrides, exhibit unique properties such as high electronic conductivity, a …

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 …

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 …

Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2 are the most light-weight and oxidation resistant layered ternary
carbides belonging to the MAX phases. This review highlights recent achievements on the …

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 …
