Abstract
Fluorite materials occupy a prominent position in the understanding of solid state chemistry and in the control defects exert on that chemistry. Consequently, the fluorites are one of the world’s best studied materials and the knowledge gained from them penetrates much of solid state science. Despite this work, the present understanding of defect chemistry in at least some of the fluorites (alkaline earth fluorides) is probably wrong and the fundamental phenomena controlling defects in fluorites remain poorly understood.
