Formatted abstract We performed ab initio calculations for monovacancy formation and migration in Ti2AlC. Carbon and aluminum vacancies have almost equally low formation energies, respectively, at (Ti- and Al-rich) and (Ti- and C-rich) growth conditions, wherein both defects exhibit a high equilibrium concentration and structural tolerance to large off-stoichiometry in Ti2AlC. In contrast, VTi has the highest formation energy at all possible conditions. The intrinsic migration energies of various vacancies are determined to be in the sequence Em(VAl) < Em(VTi) < Em(VC). © 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
