Atomic Defects in High-Purity Metals: Fundamentals and Equilibrium Concentrations

  • Chapter
Purification Process and Characterization of Ultra High Purity Metals

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Processing ((SSMATERIALSPROC))

Abstract

A crystal defect is any permanent perturbation of the crystal structure. In crystals, the interatomic distances and the size of the elementary cells provide us with a natural length scale. This allows us to base a first classification of crystal defects on the number of dimensions in which the perturbation extends over distances that are large compared with the chosen length scale. For metals and most other inorganic materials it does not matter whether we choose the distances between nearest-neighbour atoms or the size of the elementary cells as the length scale, since they either coincide (in the case of Bravais lattices) or differ only by a factor of the order of magnitude unity. The situation is different in molecular crystals built up from large molecules, such as crystalline polymers. This brings in features that go beyond the above classification.
