High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient materials screening, optimization, and discovery. The paradigm started in the pharmaceutical industry but was rapidly adopted to accelerate materials research in a wide variety of areas. High throughput experiments are characterized by synthesis of a "library" sample that contains the materials variation of interest (typically composition), and rapid and localized measurement schemes that result in massive data sets. Because the data are collected at the same time on the same "library" sample, they can be highly uniform with respect to fixed processing parameters. This article critically reviews the literature pertaining to applications of combinatorial materials science for electronic, magnetic, optical, and energy-related materials. It is expected that high throughput methodologies will facilitate commercialization of novel materials for these critically important applications. Despite the overwhelming evidence presented in this paper that high throughput studies can effectively inform commercial practice, in our perception, it remains an underutilized research and development tool. Part of this perception may be due to the inaccessibility of proprietary industrial research and development practices, but clearly the initial cost and availability of high throughput laboratory equipment plays a role. Combinatorial materials science has traditionally been focused on materials discovery, screening, and optimization to combat the extremely high cost and long development times for new materials and their introduction into commerce. Going forward, combinatorial materials science will also be driven by other needs such as materials substitution and experimental verification of materials properties predicted by modeling and simulation, which have recently received much attention with the advent of the Materials Genome Initiative. Thus, the challenge for combinatorial methodology will be the effective coupling of synthesis, characterization and theory, and the ability to rapidly manage large amounts of data in a variety of formats.

“…9 Based on this steadily increasing number it is not surprising that the variety in properties has also become more versatile, such as the discovery of superconducting MAX phases, [10][11][12] their role to serve as precursors for two-dimensional materials, the MXenes, 13 or to exhibit an exceptional and complex magnetic behavior. [14][15][16] The profound interest in magnetism was sparked by the synthesis of the first magnetic MAX phase (Cr 0.75 Mn 0.25 ) 2 GeC in 2013 17 and has become even stronger with the successful preparation of Mn 2 GaC thin films, 18 showing ferromagnetic response up to 230 K and an antiferromagnetic ordering temperature over 500 K. 19 Since then, the research on magnetic MAX phases has mainly focused on the synthesis of new manganese doped chromium-based MAX phases, particularly with gallium, 16,20,21 germanium, 17,22,23 and aluminum 15,24,25 as the A-element, while new approaches also deal with the incorporation of ferromagnetic elements on the A-site of the MAX phases using chemical replacement techniques. 26,27 However, most of these reports address solely carbide-based MAX phases, while (carbo)nitride compounds (in total o 30) are significantly underrepresented by a factor of B10.…”

“…Scaabarozi et al and Emmerlich et al showed that magnetron-sputtered thin films of MAX-phase Ti3SiC2, Ti4SiC3, Ti3GeC2, Ti2GeC, and Ti2SnC are relatively good conductors [25,26]. There have also been reports on the growth of undoped and doped Cr2GeC thin films by magnetron sputtering and the anisotropic nature of their electronic transport, mediated through electron-phonon coupling [27,28]. For more exhaustive literatures, one might look at the in-depth review by Eklund et al [3,14], especially from MAX thin film point of view.…”

Growth, Properties, and Applications of Pulsed Laser Deposited Nanolaminate Ti3AlC2 Thin Films

Recently, nanolaminated ternary carbides have attracted immense interest due to the concomitant presence of both ceramic and metallic properties. Here, we grow nanolaminate Ti3AlC2 thin films by pulsed laser deposition on c-axis-oriented sapphire substrates and, surprisingly, the films are found to be highly oriented along the (103) axis normal to the film plane, rather than the (000l) orientation. Multiple characterization techniques are employed to explore the structural and chemical quality of these films, the electrical and optical properties, and the device functionalities. The 80-nm thick Ti3AlC2 film is highly conducting at room temperature, with a resistivity of about 50 µΩ cm and a very-low-temperature coefficient of resistivity. The ultrathin (2 nm) Ti3AlC2 film has fairly good optical transparency (∼70%) and high conductivity (sheet resistance ∼735 Ω/sq) at room temperature. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals the metallic characteristics (finite density of states at the Fermi level) at room temperature. The metal-semiconductor junction of the p-type Ti3AlC2 film and n-Si show the expected rectification (diode) characteristics, in contrast to the ohmic contact behavior in the case of Ti3AlC2/p-Si. A triboelectric-nanogenerator-based touch-sensing device, comprising of the Ti3AlC2 film, shows a very impressive peak-to-peak open-circuit output voltage (∼80 V). These observations reveal that pulsed laser deposited Ti3AlC2 thin films have excellent potential for applications in multiple domains, such as bottom electrodes, resistors for high-precision measurements, Schottky diodes, ohmic contacts, fairly transparent ultrathin conductors, and next-generation biomechanical touch sensors for energy harvesting.
