Electronic structure and chemical bonding in Ti2AlC by X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0291-WXH)

Introduction

Titanium Aluminum Carbide Ti2AlC is a ternary layered MAX phase compound of the general type Mn+1AXn, where M is a transition metal, A is an element such as aluminum or silicon, and X is either carbon or nitrogen, with n=1, 2, or 3. MAX phase compunds are precursors for the production of MXenes, novel 2D materials notable for their properties that combine aspects of both metals and ceramics.

Principle

XES is an element-specific method primarily used to analyze the partially occupied electronic structure of materials. The technique is one of the photon-in-photon-out spectroscopies in which an incident X-ray photon is used to excite a core electron, which leads to the transition of the electron from the ground state to the excited state, and then the excited state of the electron decays with the emission of an X-ray photon in order to fill the core hole.

Applications

Used for the study of electronic structure and for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances.

Materials

• X-ray emission spectrometer
• X-ray generating equipment (X-ray tube)
• Collimators
• Monochromators
• X-ray detectors
