Effects of Schottky and Frenkel Defects |
|
Answer» A Schottky defect is a type of point defect in a crystal lattice named after Walter H. Schottky. ... In ionic crystals, the defect forms when oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies. These vacancies are formed in stoichiometric units, to maintain an overall neutral charge in the ionic solid. A Frenkel defect or dislocation defect is a type of defect in crystalline solids where in an atom is displaced from its lattice position to an interstitial site, creating a vacancy at the original site and an interstitial defect at the new location without any changes in chemical properties. |
