Figure 2: Stability predictions of MAX carbides. Calculated maximum formation enthalpies (ΔrH) of various MAX carbides of type n = 1, 2, and 3. Light green
shading represents the metastable range: 0 < ΔrH < 30, whereas red shading
indicates the stable range: i.e., ΔrH < 0. The green frames mark experimentally
realized compositions [8]. In total, we predict 68 (31 stable and 37
metastable) new MAX carbides.
