For each Y-doped sample, randomly-oriented pyramidal morphology and the formation of a minorityphase of Y2O3 were observed. A gradual increase in both lattice parameters and unit cell volume was detected withincreasing Y content. All samples were found to be thermally stable in the temperature interval of 25-950 °C.en10.29130/dubited.655244info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle8216341649390566
