Abstract
Room temperature synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments were performed on the layered hexagonal ternary carbide
Nb

AsC
in a diamond anvil cell to a pressure of 41 GPa. The structure is stable with no phase transitions observed in this pressure range. The bulk modulus is
224
±

GPa
, with a pressure derivative of 4; the former is the highest bulk modulus for a

Nb

AsC
is also the first MAX phase for which the compressibility along the
a
direction is higher than along the
c
direction; in other words, the
c
∕
a
ratio increases strongly with applied pressure.
