Thermally induced substitutional reaction of Fe into Mo2GaC thin films
BSTRACTThe first Fe-based MAX phase is realized by solid-state substitution reaction of an Fe/Au/Mo
2
GaC thin-film diffusion couple
as determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Chemical analysis together with elemental mapping reveals that as much as 50 at.% Fe on the
A
site can be obtained by thermally induced Au and Fe substitution for Ga atomic layers in Mo
2
GaC. One-sixth of the original Ga is also replaced by Au atoms. When annealing Mo
2
GaC thin films covered with Fe only
the Mo
2
GaC phase remains intact
that is
Au acts as a catalyst for the substitution reaction.
IMPACT STATEMENT
The first direct evidence showing Fe-containing MAX phase
Mo

A
C
with Fe ∼50 at.% on the
A
sites is presented
synthesized by thermally induced Fe and Au substitution reaction catalyzed by Au.
