The structural, elastic, mechanical, electronic properties and its compressive behavior up to 55 GPa are studied for the (Ti1-xNbx)(2)AlC (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) compounds using the first-principles calculation. Calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with experimental results, and all the considered (Ti(1-x)Nbx)(2)AlC compounds are predicted to be elastically stable under 0-55 GPa pressure and are classified as brittle materials. Meanwhile, our study provides a metallic character of all the considered (Ti1-xNbx)(2)AlC compounds, and predicts them as promising good coating materials. Moreover, a significant increase (25.8%) in the bulk modulus is found with the Nb concentration changing from 0 to 1.0, and the reason is analyzed. Crown Copyright (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
