Mo2TiC2 is the Ordered Double Transitional Metal Layered Carbides (ODTMLC) derived from its parent MAX phases Mo2TiAlC2 by a wet chemical etching. Its oxidation was done by a new ablated plasma thrust method in which the MXenes were at 750 °C under an oxygen background in the pulsed laser deposition chamber. The reflective high electron energy diffraction technique assures the oxidation at the ambient gas pressure p = 0.1 mbar, which was described in the previous paper. The obtained Mo2TiC2O2 was transferred for their topological test under angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, circular dichroism test, and Chemical Potential (CP) analysis. An indirect energy bandgap of 125 meV was obtained. The sine function of α along with period π and β with period 2π shows that there is a possibility of helical spin textures in both α (electron-like pocket around Γ̄) and β (elliptical electron-like pocket around M̄). The CP analysis shows the possibility of at least 100 meV bandgap creation on a single surface so that the surface charges will flow without any effect of bulk. The Mo2TiC2O2 can be used as topological insulating material.
