New MAX-Phase Compounds in the V-Cr-Al-C System

New layered compounds, (V0.5Cr0.5)3AlC2, (V0.5Cr0.5)4AlC3, and (V0.5Cr0.5)5Al2C3 were synthesized by reactive hot pressing V, Cr, Al, and graphite powders. The crystal structures of these new phases were determined using a combination of X‐ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscop...

Zusammenfassung:New layered compounds, (V0.5Cr0.5)3AlC2, (V0.5Cr0.5)4AlC3, and (V0.5Cr0.5)5Al2C3 were synthesized by reactive hot pressing V, Cr, Al, and graphite powders. The crystal structures of these new phases were determined using a combination of X‐ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. (V0.5Cr0.5)3AlC2 is isotypical to Ti3AlC2; while (V0.5Cr0.5)4AlC3 has the Ti4AlN3 or α‐Ta4AlC3‐type crystal structure. (V0.5Cr0.5)5Al2C3 is formed by periodically stacking of half‐unit cells of (V0.5Cr0.5)2AlC and (V0.5Cr0.5)3AlC2.
