Mn+1AXn (n = 1-3) phases, for which M is an early transition metal, A is an A-group element, and X is C (or N), are a family of inherently nanolaminated hexagonal compounds. Due to their unique structure these materials share properties usually associated with ceramics and metals [1]. The ability to stabilize quaternary compounds with isostructural solutions on M and A sites and with different stoichiometry yields a class of new magnetic MAX phase materials. We report on the magnetic properties of the recently discovered compounds: (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC [2], (Mo0.5Mn0.5)2GaC [3], (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2AuC and (V,Mn)3GaC2 [4]. The (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2AuC system shows the smallest magnetic ordering temperature of TC = 120 K, high coercive field of HC = 100 mT and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) at T = 10 K. The MAE of (Cr0.5Mn0.5)2GaC and (Mo0.5Mn0.5)2GaC do not exceed 4 kJ/m3, both systems have similar TC = 210 K and HC = 30 mT at T = 5 K. This work is supported by DFG SA 3095/2-1. [1] M. W.
