Crystalline Defects
Module Overview
In this module we examine the types of defects that exist in ceramic materials, introduce Kroger-Vink notation as a way to efficiently describe point defects, and present several examples of defect formation reactions which illustrate how the need to balance charge and number of sites, as well as mass, effect the formation of defects in ceramic materials.
