The search for further control over the properties of MAX phases as well as the promise of discovering compounds with new functionalities has resulted in an increased interest in MAX solid solutions resulting from mixing in either the M, A, or X sublattices. The possibility of alloying MAX compounds not only enables finer tuning of their properties but can also be used to stabilize compounds that may otherwise be metastable in their pure state. In this letter, we present an ab initio-based investigation of the intrinsic alloying behavior in the A sublattice of Ti 2 (Al,A)C, Zr 2 (Al,A)C and Ti 3 (Al,A)C 2 MAX compounds.
