MAX phases (M_n+1AX_n, n = 1, 2, etc.) are inherently nanolaminated hexagonal compounds composed of early transition metals M, A-group elements and X refers to C or N. Due to the unique structure these materials share properties usually associated with ceramics and metals [1]. Ternary Mn₂GaC magnetic compounds have been synthesized recently as hetero-epitaxial films containing Mn as the exclusive M-element [2]. Using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) we have studied magnetic anisotropy in the Mn₂GaC in comparison with (Cr_0.5Mn_0.5)₂GaC MAX phase [3]. We find a significant magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy density of 0.5 MJ/m³ at the temperature below 200 K with the easy axis perpendicular to the c-axis. Such observation can be understood using the perturbation theory based on the first-principles calculations. This work is supported by DFG Grant SA 3095/2-1 and DAAD Programm 57214224. [1] M. W.
