The tensile creep behavior of two rare‐earth dopant systems, lanthanum‐ and yttrium‐doped alumina, are compared and contrasted in order to better understand the role of oversized, isovalent cation dopants in determining creep behavior. It was found that, despite some microstructural differences, these systems displayed qualitatively a similar improvement in creep resistance, supporting the hypothesis that creep is strongly influenced by segregation. Differences in primary creep behavior and activation energy for steady‐state creep were, however, observed for these systems. Given these results, it is expected that creep behavior can be further optimized by adjusting the dopant level and by controlling the microstructure.
