Exploring high-performance environmental barrier coatings for rare earth silicates: A combined approach of first principles calculations and machine learning by Yun Fan, Yuelei Bai, Zhiyao Lu, Zhaoxu Sun, Yuchen Liu, Simiao Sha, Yiran Li, Bin Liu

“…It follows that a combined approach of first principles calculations and machine learning is proposed for this problem, with establishing a comprehensive database comprising β-, γ- and δ-RE2Si2O7 (RE = La–Lu, Y, Sc) and correlating their mechanical/thermal properties on structural characteristics. It is revealed the [O3SiOSiO3] structure and polyhedron distortion affect mechanical properties of RE2Si2O7, while criteria for selecting RE2Si2O7 with low thermal conductivity are identified, including complex crystal structures, chemical bond inhomogeneity, and strong non-harmonic lattice vibrations. …”
