Description
Summary:The chemical compositions and local atomic structures of powders consisting of the MAX phase of the Ti 2 AlC composition, which are obtained by mechanical activation in a ball mill followed by annealing, are analyzed by X-ray photoelectron, Auger, energy dispersive X-ray, extended electron energy-loss fine structure (EXELFS) spectroscopic techniques and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of precursors on the chemical composition and local atomic structure of the Ti 2 AlC powder is studied. The evolution of the local atomic structure of titanium and carbon as a result of mechanical activation and heat treatment is investigated. The chemical-bond lengths and the respective coordination numbers are determined from the experimental electron energy-loss spectra. A decrease in the partial interatomic C–C and C–Ti distances is shown to be caused by annealing.
