Elastic, thermodynamic and optical behavior of V2AC (A = Al, Ga) MAX phases

This article reports the first-principles calculations of yet unexplored Mulliken bond population, Vickers hardness, thermodynamic and optical properties of MAX phases V2AC (A = Al, Ga). We have also revisited the structural and elastic properties of these phases in order to assess the reliability o...
