Abstract:MAX phase materials have shown a series of interesting, even sometimes unusual, properties and exhibited combined attributes of both metals and ceramics, which are due to their “layered ternary transition metal carbides” structures. In the process of studying the multistage phase transformation of 312-MAX phase materials, we found that there were some confusions and mistakes when describing the crystal structures of the β-phase in the existing literature. In order to clarify their structural and physical prope… Show more
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.
