Electrical conductive and damage-tolerant nanolaminated MAB phases Cr2AlB2, Cr3AlB4 and Cr4AlB6

Theoretical investigations on electronic structure, chemical bonding and mechanical properties reveal that MAB phases (CrB2)nCrAl (n = 1–3) exhibit anisotropic electrical and elastic properties, low shear deformation resistance and damage tolerance similar to MAX phases. The main contribution to the...
