Synthesis of atomically layered and chemically ordered rare-earth (RE) i-MAX phases; (Mo2/3RE1/3)2GaC with RE = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu

We report the synthesis of eight new members of the i-MAX family, of the formula (Mo2/3RE1/3)2GaC, where RE = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, and Yb, the latter not previously incorporated in a MAX phase. The structure and composition of powder samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning tr...
