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...

EFFECT OF FABRICATION PARAMETERS ON SYNTHESIS OF Ti2AlC AND Ti3AlC2MAX PHASES BY MASHS

Mechanically Activated Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis (MASHS) is the method which is used to promote self-propagating synthesis by increasing activity of reactants and increase the purity of products. In this study Ti 2 AlC and Ti3AlC2 max phases were synthesized by using mechanically activated self-propagating high temperature synthesis (MASHS) and samples reactivity and phase str...

PRODUCTION OF TiAl/Al2O3 AND TiAl/Ti2AlC/Al2O3 COMPOSITES BY EXPLOSION SYNTHESIS

Thermal explosion mode of combustion synthesis was used to fabricate TiAl-Al2O3 and TiAl-Ti2AlC-Al2O3 composites from elemental powder mixtures of TiO2, Al and C and characterized by XRD and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results showed that thermite reaction of Al with TiO2 caused TiAl-Al2O3 composite formation. By adding ...

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

The large class of layered ceramics encompasses both van der Waals (vdW) and non-vdW solids. While intercalation of noble metals in vdW solids is known, formation of compounds by incorporation of noble-metal layers in non-vdW layered solids is largely unexplored. Here, we show formation of Ti3AuC2 and Ti3Au2C2 phases with up to 31% lattice swelling by a substitutional solid-state reaction of Au...
