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 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 …
