Low-temperature growth of epitaxial Ti2AlC MAX phase thin films by low-rate layer-by-layer PVD

Here we report on the structural and tribo-mechanical characterization of epitaxial single-crystalline Ti2AlC MAX phase thin films, grown by means of electron beam physical vapor deposition at relatively low temperature (700°C). The growth of phase pure Ti2AlC at a relatively lower temperature when...
