Cathodic arc co-deposition of highly oriented hexagonal Ti and Ti2AlC MAX phase thin films

Ti2AlC belongs to a family of ternary nanolaminate alloys known as the MAX phases, which exhibit a uniquecombination of metallic and ceramic properties. Here we report pulsed cathodic arc deposition of c axisnormal oriented Ti2AlC thin films on a-Al2O3 (001) single crystal substrates heated to 900 °...
