All crystals whose structures can be described by layers are prone to stacking faults. A stacking fault is any defect that alters the periodic sequence of layers. These defects may be a wrong layer ...
Surface defects plastically deform the surface of the material. Surface defects are as follows. cracks , grooves , damages , slags , scabs and corrosion.
The two-dimensional defects that appear in crystals can be usefully divided into three types: free surfaces, which are the external surfaces at which the solid terminates at a vapor or liquid, ...
A process in which two or more crystals, or parts of crystals, assume orientations such that one may be brought to coincidence with the other by reflection across a plane or by rotation about an ...
Volume defects in crystals are three-dimensional aggregates of atoms or vacancies. It is common to divide them into four classes in an imprecise classification that is based on a combination of the ...
A vacancy is a lattice position that is vacant because the atom is missing. It is created when the solid is formed. There are other ways of making a vacancy, but they also occur naturally as a result ...
