CHAPTER 5: IMPERFECTIONS IN SOLIDS ISSUES TO ADDRESS... • What types of defects arise in solids? • Can the number and type of defects be varied and controlled? • How do defects affect material properties? • Are defects undesirable? • How do point defects in ceramics differ from those in metals? • In ceramics, how are impurities accommodated in the lattice and how do they affect properties? 1 TYPES OF IMPERFECTIONS • Vacancy atoms • Interstitial atoms • Substitutional atoms Point defects • Dislocations Line defects • Grain Boundaries Area defects 2 POINT DEFECTS • Vacancies: -vacant atomic sites in a structure. Vacan distortion of planes • Self-Interstitials: -"extra" atoms positioned between atomic sites. distortion of planes selfinterstit 3 EQUIL.
