 Question 1

Most single crystal contain:

a. No defect, since they must be perfect

crystals
b. Exactly one defect, hence the term
single crystal
c. Many defects.
d. More defects than atoms, since every
atom must generate at least one defect

slowly through its melting point. The solid is
then left at room temperature for 100 years.
What is the resulting structure?
a. A polycrystal with grains of identical chemical
composition but different crystallographic
orientation.
b. A polycrystal consisting of finely spaced lamellae
with alternating composition.
c. A single crystal.

 Question 3
Self-diffusion is the diffusion of a species within a body of
material made from the same species. In general, self-
diffusion in a polycrystalline solid can occur through the bulk
of the grains (lattice diffusion) or along the grain boundaries
(grain boundary diffusion). Which of the following
statements gives the best description of the relative
contribution of each process to the overall diffusion rate?
a. The contributions should be about the same in both cases.
b. The contribution from lattice diffusion will always be greater than the
contribution from grain boundary diffusion.
c. The contribution from grain boundary diffusion will always be greater
than the contribution from lattice diffusion.
d. The relative contributions of the two processes depend upon the
temperature of the material. Prepared by: Engr. S. Escalera
