Here, we report, for the first time, on the Raman spectra of Ti2AlN, Ti2AlC0.5N0.5, (Ti0.5V0.5)2AlC, Ti3AlC2, and Ti3GeC2 and compare the results with those of Ti2AlC and V2AlC reported previously. The first-order mode peaks of the end members are narrower than those of their respective solid-solution compounds. The Ti3AlC2 and Ti3GeC2 phases show, in addition to atomic displacements of the M and A atomic planes, modes that correspond with vibrations of the X sublattice relative to itself. We also predict the Raman modes using density functional theory. The agreement between theory and experiment was found to be satisfactory. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
