Explain the following terms with suitable examples:
(i) Schottky defect
(ii) Frenkel defect
(iii) Interstitials and
(iv) F-centres
(i) Schottky defect – It was discovered by German scientist Schottky in 1930. It is basically a vacancy defect in ionic solids. In order to maintain electrical neutrality, the number of missing cations and anions are equal.
(ii) Frenkel defect – It was discovered by a Russian scientist Frenkel in 1926. It arises when an ion is missing from its normal position and occupies an interstitial site between the lattice points. In this case the crystal remains electrically neutral because the number of cations and anions remains the same.
(iii) Interstitials defect – When some constituent particles occupy an interstitial positions, the crystal is said to have a interstitial defect. Thus defect increases the density of the substance.
(iv) F-centres – During an anion vacancy, the electrons trapped in anion vacancies are called as F centres. It is originated from a German word farbenzenter which means colour centre.
