Abstract

We have calculated electronic, vibrational, and elastic properties of (Mo2/3Sc1/3)2AlC and (Mo2/3Y1/3)2AlC, two recently discovered nanolaminated materials in the family of so-called i-MAX phases. A comparison is made to the properties of the related hypothetical MAX phases Sc2AlC, Y2AlC, and Mo2AlC. From an analysis of the electronic band structures and projected crystal orbital Hamilton populations (pCOHP), we show that the i-MAX phases have more isotropic band structures than the MAX phases, but that their bonding characteristics are very similar, despite belonging to different space groups. However, the similar bonding notwithstanding, qualitative as well as significant quantitative differences are seen in the phonon density of states (PDOS). We also compare the Voigt–Reuss–Hill (VRH) bulk, shear, and Young's moduli. For (Mo2/3Sc1/3)2AlC, BVRH = 132 GPa, GVRH = 89 GPa, and EVRH = 218 GPa, all of which are higher values than for Sc2AlC, but lower than for Mo2AlC. For (Mo2/3Y1/3)2AlC, BVRH = 117 GPa, GVRH = 85 GPa, and EVRH = 205 GPa, which are higher than for Y2AlC, but lower than for Mo2AlC.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
