Abstract

A composition is provided of a rare earth-doped zirconium oxide having a tetragonal structure and having a formula: Y a Ln b Ta x Nb z Zr 1-a-b-x-z O 2-δ where Ln is a rare earth element or a mixture of rare earth elements; 0≤a≤0.06; 0.06≤b≤0.12; 0≤x≤0.1; 0≤z≤0.1; 0.08≤(x+z)≤0.1; 0.16≤(a+b+x+z)≤0.22; and 0.01≤δ≤0.05. Methods of forming a coating with this composition, along with the coated components, are also provided.
