Defects in Crystals

1
Types of Defects
 Point Defects
 Line Defects
 Planar Defects
 Volume Defects

 Basis of Classification:
“GEOMETRY”
2
Point Defects
 Vacancies

 Impurity
Defects
 Interstitial
 Substitutional

3
Vacancies
Nv = NLexp(-Q/kT)
Vacancies increase
with
Temperature!!!

Vacancies are
important in
causing solid state
Vacancies in Pt
diffusion
4
Vacancies: Example Problem
Calculate the equilibrium
number of vacancies per
cubic meter for copper at
1000 C. The energy for
vacancy formation is 0.9
eV/atom; the atomic
weight and density (at
1000C) for copper are
63.5 g/mol and 8.4 g/cm3,
respectively.

 Heating

 Solidification
 (impurities
maybe added)  Stress
8
Dislocations
 considered as linear defects
 occur as three types:
 edge
 screw
 mixed

(Stress + Dislocation)

16
PLANAR DEFECTS
 Grain Boundaries
 Surfaces
 Twin Defect
 Stacking Fault

17
Grain Boundaries

Represents the site at which


MISMATCHED Crystals meet! 18

is 150
21
Implication of Grain Boundary

 Affects:
 Mechanical Property
 Electrical Property 22
External Surfaces

Surfaces are considered defective


since the atoms at the surface lack
required coordination number
23
Stacking
Fault

HCP
Stacking Fault in
FCC
ABC..AB..ABC

FCC 24
Twin Defect

refers to a change in crytal orientation which lead to the


formation of mirror image of the crystal across a plane
25

 Pores and Voids
 Cracks
 Foreign inclusions
 Notch
