- all ions are tetrahedrally coordinated
Point Defects ( 0 dimensions)
- vacancy
- : abscence of an atom or ion

props:
- thermodynamically stable defects
- equilibrium defects
- as temp increases, concentration of vacancies increases
concentration of vacancy

Nv = Nexp(-Qv / kT)
Nv = # of vacant sites
N = # of total sites
Qv = energy requiered to create vacancy
K = boltzman's constant
T = absolute temp

- vacancy increase = density decrease
interstitial defect
extra ion or atom present

- conc. interstitial < conc. of vacancies
Frenkel defect (ceramic)
cation vacancy
- moves from vacancy to interstitial spot
Schottky defect
charge neutrality maintained by having one cation vacancy for every one anion vacancy
Substitiational (metal)
An atom replaces that of the regular metal that is about the same size, same xtal struc., higher valancy
Interstitial (metal)
an atom with a smaller atomic diameter fills the voids among host atoms
diffusion
material transport by atomic motion
interdiffusion
atoms of one metal diffuse into another
self-diffusion
atoms exchanged positions are the same type
conditions for diffusion
must be an empty (vacant) adjacent site
- atom must have sufficient energy to break bonds with neighbor atoms and cause slight lattice distortion
vacancy diffusion
atoms adjacent to vacant site jumps into it and so on
Interstitial diffusion
jump from interstitial site to another rapidly
- fast than vacancy diffusion
Ficks first law of diffusion

J = -D (dC/dX)
- diffusion is driven by a concentration gradient of diffusing species

J = flux of atoms
dC = concentration change
dX = change of position
D = diffusion coefficient
- conc. gradient does not change with time
ficks second law of diffusion

Cs-Cx / Cs-Co = erf( x/ (2sqrt(Dt))
Cx = conc at depth
Co = initial conc
Cs = const surface conc., set by atmosphere
D = diffusion coeff
x = depth
