Materials Data on Nb4AlC3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Nb4AlC3 is MAX Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two aluminum molecules and two Nb4C3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Nb4C3 sheet, there are two inequivalent Nb+2.25+ sites. In the first Nb+2.25+ site, Nb+2.25+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent C4- atoms. All Nb–C bond lengths are 2.17 Å. In the second Nb+2.25+ site, Nb+2.25+ is bonded to six C4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NbC6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (2.24 Å) and three longer (2.27 Å) Nb–C bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C4- sites. In the first C4- site, C4- is bonded to six Nb+2.25+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CNb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. In the second C4- site, C4- is bonded to six equivalent Nb+2.25+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CNb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°.
