We report on the synthesis of Tin+1SnCn (MAX phases) by hot isostatic pressing starting with titanium, tin, and carbon powders. In addition to the already known Ti2SnC compound (211 MAX phase), a new 312 MAX phase, Ti3SnC2, is formed. Its lattice parameters, deduced from Rietveld analysis of X‐ray diffraction patterns, are found to be a=0.31366 nm and c=1.8650 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
