Ternary M_(n+1)AX_(n) phase,where M stands for an early transition metal,A is an A-group element,and X is either C or N,has exhibited the combination properties of ceramics and metals.Their excellent performance leads them to be a very promising candidate for applications involving extremely harsh nuclear environments,acting as a candidate pump impeller and bearing materials for lead cooled fast reactor,and fuel pellet coatings and accident tolerant fuel coatings(ATFCs).
