Effects of Al substitution by Si in Ti3AlC2 nanolaminate

Abstract Recently, a series of high-purity Ti3(Al1−x Si x )C2 solid solutions with new compositions (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) have been reported with interesting mechanical properties. Here, we have employed density functional theory for Ti3(Al1−x Si x )C2 solid solutions to calculate a...
