    Schottky Defect

    Uploaded by

    AjayChandrakar
    A Schottky defect is a type of point defect in ionic crystals where oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies in equal and stoichiometric amounts to maintain electrical neutrality. This results in a decrease in the crystal's density compared to the theoretical value, as there are fewer total ions. Schottky defects occur when there is a small difference in size between the crystal's cations and anions and can be illustrated by vacancies in the sodium chloride crystal lattice structure.

    A Schottky defect is a type of point defect in a crystal lat- 1 Denition

    If in an ionic crystal of type A+ B an equal number of
    In ionic crystals, the defect forms when oppositely cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites so
    charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies. that electrical neutrality as well as stoichiometry is mainThese vacancies are formed in stoichiometric units, to tained, then, this defect is called a Schottky Defect.

    This type of defect is shown in highly ionic compounds,


    highly coordinated compounds, and where there is only a
    small dierence in sizes of cations and anions of which
    the compound lattice is composed.

    3 Eect on Density

    Na

    Since, the total number of ions in a crystal with this defect


    is less than the theoretical value of ions, the density of
    the solid crystal is less than the theoretical density of the
    material.
