The reaction of La{sub 1{minus}x}CA{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (YSZ) has been investigated at temperatures ranging from 1300{degrees} to 1425{degrees}C in air. Substitution of Ca for La in LaMnO{sub 3} depresses the reactivity with YSZ. A layer of La{sub 2}Zr{sub 2}O{sub 7} is formed at the La{sub 1{minus}x}Ca{sub x}MNO{sub 3}/(YSZ) interface after an induction period and its formation is accelerated when the Las{sub 1{minus}x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} phase is porous. The reaction proceeds by unidirectional diffusion of La, Mn, and/or Ca ions, mainly Mn ions, into YSZ. The diffusion coefficients of La and Mn ions in YSZ, which are estimated using a LaMnO{sub 3}/single-crystal YSZ couple, are much lower than that of oxygen ion. In this paper, from the experimental data, a reaction mechanism is proposed.
