Abstract
Using ab initio calculations, we have studied the chemical bonding and elastic properties of M 2SbP (space group P6 3/mmc, prototype Cr 2AlC), where M=Ti, Zr, and Hf. The bonding is of covalent-ionic nature with the presence of metallic character. These compounds exhibit nanolaminated structure where MP layers are interleaved with Sb. While the structure is identical, both the bonding and the elastic properties of these phosphides are similar to the so-called MAX phases [M. W. Barsoum, Prog. Solid State Chem. 28, 201 (2000)].
