“…for Ti 3 SiC 2 contacts to SiC. [20][21][22] As thin films, the close relatives of Cr 2 GeC, Ti 2 GeC, [23][24][25][26] V 2 GeC, 27,28 and Cr 2 AlC [29][30][31][32][33][34] have all been investigated. From a potential technological viewpoint, the latter two are particularly interesting since they can be grown at a relatively low substrate temperature (450 • C), 27,29 which is essential for deposition onto technologically relevant substrates, such as steels.…”
