Extract

Point defects occur in every solid material. No crystalline lattice is perfect, and no amorphous network has only unbroken sequences of bonds. Every material contains a greater or smaller number of vacancies, interstitials, substitutional atoms, and broken bonds. Many of these have only minor effects on the behavior of the material, but in a surprisingly large number of cases, point defects can have significant and even decisive effects on material performance. This can be true even when the defects are present in very small concentrations.
