Imperfections in Solids
ISSUES TO ADDRESS...
- What types of defects arise in solids? Describe them
- Can the number and type of defects be varied and controlled?
- How do defects affect material properties?
- Are defects undesirable
Given masses or atomic weights of two or more elements in an alloy, calculate weight or atomic percentages.
- Lattice Defects
- Types of Imperfections
- Length Scale of Imperfections
- Point Defects
- Point Defects in Ceramics
- Frenkel and Schottky Defects: paired anions and cations
- Ionic Crystals and Impurities: Interstitial, anion-substitutional, cation-substitutional
- Equilibrium Concentration of Point Defects
- Measuring Activation Energy
- Estimating Vacancy Concentration
