Point defects are accounted for when the crystallization process occurs at a very fast rate. Simple ionic solids, such as the alkali and silver halides, some fluoritestructured crystals and binary oxides, provide the most accessible and welldeveloped testing grounds for the study, both experimental and theoretical, of point defects in crystalline materials. Defects are of great importance as they can affect properties such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, chemical reactivity and corrosion. However, there are certain defects in this structure, that give solids certain characteristic features. This text then examines the basis of the bloch theorem, which is the exact periodicity of the potential. The main groups are point defects, extended defects and dislocations. Developments in the field continue to be promoted by new experimental and theoretical techniques, while further impetus for the study of disorder in solids is provided by the growing range of applications of solid state materials in which disorder at the atomic level plays a. In a crystalline solid, when the ideal arrangement of solids is distorted around a point atom it is called a point defect.

A comprehensive overview of defects in solids defects play an important part in defining both the chemical and physical behavior of a material. There exist three main groups with additional subgroups. In interstitial solid solutions the atoms of the parent or solvent metal are bigger than the atoms of the alloying or solute metal. These defects act like stress raisers, thus affecting the mechanical properties of the parent solids. Ionic solids may have cation interstitial, as in silver halides, anion interstitials, as in baf 2, pbcl 2, and pbbr 2, and a mixture of both cation and anion interstitials, as in pbi 2. These are naturally somewhat hard to define, but sometimes their nature can be quite easily understood. This means, that an equal number ob cations and anions have left their normal.
