Abstract

High pressure Infrared spectroscopy MAX phases Ti 3GeC 2
Using a synchrotron radiation source and a diamond anvil cell, we measured the pressure dependence of the lattice parameters of a polycrystalline Ti 3GeC 2 sample up to a pressure of 51 GPa. No phase transformations were observed. Like Ti 3SiC 2, and most other compounds belonging to the same family of ternary carbides and nitrides, the so-called MAX phases, the compressibility of Ti 3GeC 2 along the c axis is greater than that along the a axis. The bulk modulus is 197 ± 4 GPa, with a pressure derivative of 3.4 ± 0.1. We also characterized Ti 3GeC 2 by infrared spectroscopy; four of the five expected infrared modes were observed for this material.
