The crystallographic structure and properties of novel quaternary nanolaminated rare-earth-Cr-based i-MAX phases
Source abstract
Abstract
Seven novel inherently nanolaminated transition metal carbides, (Cr 2/3 R 1/3) 2AlC ( R = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu) with R in-plane chemical ordering in the carbide sheet, have been synthesized and found to be crystallized in Cmcm orthorhombic structure with monotonously decreased lattice parameters due to lanthanides constrictions. Linear antiferromagnetism is found for R = Gd and gradually changed to paramagnetism for R = Er, Tm and Lu through nonlinear magnetic configurations with gradually decreased ordering temperature. Compared with Cr 2 AlC benchmark, the Vickers hardness is significantly higher, leading to higher compressive fracture strength and better wear resistance. After compression at high temperature, nanoscale co-existence of the C2/c monoclinic and orthorhombic structure is observed, which is caused by the random stackings and high-density slidings within ab plane. The further first-principle calculations confirm the close thermal stability of both two structures.
