“…Several potential TBCs, for example, Y 4 Al 2 O 9 , RE 2 M 2 O 7 , RE 2 SiO 5 , RE 2 SiO 7 , RETaO 4 , and RE 3 TaO 7 , where RE = Y, Pr, Sm, Eu, Yb, Gd, and Tm and M = Zr, Ce, Ti, Mo, and Sn, have been proposed. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In 2007, Clarke and Levi proposed YTaO 4 as a promising TBC because its ferroelasticity is similar to that of yttriastabilized zirconia (YSZ). 25 Since then, tantalates have gained considerable attention, inducing more research on the subject.…”
