1. A method comprising:
forming a barrier coating on a substrate of a component, wherein the barrier coating comprises:
a matrix comprising a rare-earth disilicate, the matrix extending from an inner interface facing the substrate to an outer surface opposite the inner interface; and
a graded volumetric distribution of rare-earth oxide rich (REO-rich) phase regions in the matrix along a direction from the inner interface to the outer surface, wherein the REO-rich phase regions define bands in predetermined locations within the matrix, and wherein the matrix has a higher volumetric density of the REO-rich phase regions in a first region nearer the outer surface than in a second region nearer the inner interface.
