Modern gas turbine engines employed in power and aerospace industries extensively utilize thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) to protect the structural integrity of engine components against any rapid degradation at extremely high temperatures (1300-1500 °C). TBCs typically consist of 7 wt% yttria-stabi...
