Phonon dispersion curves in Cr2AlC single-crystals
BSTRACTNeutron inelastic scattering is used for the first time to measure phonon dispersion branches in Cr
2
AlC MAX phase single crystals with appreciable size. Phonon spectra are also calculated within the Density Functional Perturbation Theory (DFPT) framework and exhibit a very good match with experimental data
including high energy carbon-related optical branches. Both experiments and
ab initio
simulations confirm the existence of a substantial phonon gap and discard the presence of any softening mode or possible magnetic effect.
IMPACT STATEMENT
We synthesized Cr
2
AlC single-crystalline platelets with areas over 10 cm

. This breakthrough in materials synthesis was a prerequisite for measuring inelastic neutron scattering and phonon anisotropies.
