Research-Grade Layered Carbide | Nominal Purity ≥99% | 200 and 400 Mesh | 1 g, 5 g, and 50 g Packaging
Mo₂Ga₂C is a ternary carbide with a distinctive layered structure. Its primary structural feature is the alternating arrangement of Mo₂C layers and Ga double-atomic layers. It is suitable for research on crystal structures, interlayer bonding, interfacial reactions, thermal and mechanical properties, electronic structures, and composite materials.
Mo₂Ga₂C is a ternary MAX phase (221) layered material with the general composition M₂A₂X, where M is Mo, A is Ga, and X is C. Unlike the common 211-type M₂AX structure, the 221-type structure contains two A-element layers. In Mo₂Ga₂C, Ga double-atomic layers are positioned between adjacent Mo₂C layers.
This research-grade powder can be used for studies of phase composition, crystal structure, interlayer interactions, interfacial reactions, powder sintering, functional coatings, and composite materials. Phase ratios, particle-size distributions, and powder morphology may vary between batches; batch-specific characterization data should therefore be reviewed when required.
