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 …

Inherently and artificially layered materials are commonly investigated both for fundamental
scientific purposes and for technological application. When a layered material is thinned or …

MAX phases are a large group of nanolaminated carbide and nitride materials of immense
scientific and technological interest. Materials of this class are known as metallic ceramics …

The discovery of graphene sparked significant interest in 2D materials, which present an
ultra-thin layered structure with high anisotropy and adjustable energy-band structure …

Very recently the In-based MAX phases A 3 InC 2 (A= Zr, Hf) have received great attraction
for their exceptional physical properties. Here, the physical properties of A 3 InC 2 (A= Zr, Hf) …

Generally speaking, thermal stability is the key factor for microwave absorbers (MAs) at high
temperature. In this paper, we first propose to apply a novel material called Cr 2 AlC (CAC) …

A high-throughput computational method is used to predict 39 new superconductors in the Ti-
based M 2 AX phases, and the best candidates are then studied in more detail using density …

The present study reports the thermal conductivity and electrical transport properties of
Mo2Ga2C, which is the first member of double-A-layer MAX phases. Dense bulk samples of …

Present work successfully synthesized two new α-312 MAX phase compounds of Zr 3 InC 2
and Hf 3 InC 2 using spark plasma sintering. The crystal structure and microstructure of two …
