Synthesis of Ti3AuC2, Ti3Au2C2 and Ti3IrC2 by noble metal substitution reaction in Ti3SiC2 for high-temperature-stable Ohmic contacts to SiC.

Novel Layered and 2D Materials for Functionality Enhancement of Contacts and Gas Sensors

II The cover image shows partial intercalation of gold (in yellow) into Ti3SiC2 observed by scanning transmission electron microscopy; a result from my research. During the course of research underlying this thesis, I was enrolled in Agora Materiae, a multidisciplinary doctoral program at Linköping University, Sweden. Abstract Chemical gas sensors are widely-used electronic devices for detectin...

Ti2Au2C and Ti3Au2C2 formed by solid state reaction of gold with Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2.

Incorporation of layers of noble metals in non-van der Waals layered materials may be used to form novel layered compounds. Recently, we demonstrated a high-temperature-induced exchange process of Au with Si in the layered phase Ti3SiC2, resulting in the formation of Ti3AuC2 and Ti3Au2C2. Here, we generalize this technique showing that Au/Ti2AlC and Au/Ti3AlC2 undergo an exchange reaction at 65...

Synthesis and Sintering of Ti3SiC2–SiC Composites through Reactive Hot-Pressing of TiC and Si Precursors

MAX phases are an attractive class of layered solids that have recently attracted a great deal of attention due to their unusual and unique composition. The ternary compound Ti3SiC2 is an example of a material that combines the properties of ceramics and metals. As a ceramic, they are high stiff. Some of them are resistant to oxidation, creep, fatigue, corrosion. They are extremely refractory a...

Fabrication of Ti3SiC‌‌2-SiC max phase composites via in-situ and ex-situ synthesis

Recently, a series of three-component compounds with the combination of Mn+1AXn known as Max phases have been considered as a new material. One of the most important features of Max phases, is the self-healing property of them. The main reason for considering Max Phases is a unique collection of unusual properties including their metallic, ceramic, physical, and mechanical properties. One of th...

Single-step synthesis process of Ti3SiC2 ohmic contacts on 4H-SiC by sputter-deposition of Ti
