Split point defects

[edit]

the point defect article can be dealt with separately, in detail, by adding more information on point defects in metals and ionic crystals.LeaveSleaves 10:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- agreed. ~blah
- It's a good idea to have pages specializing in point defects, specific types of point defects (vacancies, interstitials, impurities), as well as line defects (there is already one on dislocations), planar defects (like grain boundaries, buried interfaces, stacking faults, and surfaces plus their reconstruction), and myriad inclusion types. However, a page putting the various types of defects into a common context is important as well. Hence my inclination would be to start a page on your favorite defect type, and link to it from here.

Split is a good idea. Cewvero (talk) 20:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget about ionic defects--especially as they pertain to the result of doping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzarfos (talkcontribs) 10:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i agree that Point Defects should be split into a different article. If this is done though the articles on Frenkel and Schotky defects should combined into this.

- I disagree, it is good to have a single briefish overview of types of point defects (this is often difficult to find even in books), then there may be separate articles for all the other types with more details (like there are already for e.g. vacancy, interstitial, Stone-Wales defect etc.).

Effects of defects

[edit]

This article needs to explain what effects defects have on mechanical and electronic properties of materials - i.e. why do we care about defects? 131.203.12.253 22:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC) 100% agree (Dr. S.A.Moiz) Yes. And should mention what causes them, too. (bleh) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.227.1.201 (talk) 15:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Screw dislocations

[edit]

Screw dislocations are explained here in a way that makes sense to me: http://btech.mit.asia/downloads/svlomte/CrystalImperfections-dislocations2011.pdf

I assume that the images are non-free, and I've stopped believing that I understand how to have my content not deleted, so I won't edit the substantive page. ArthurDent006.5 (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Crystal defect vs crystallographic defect

[edit]

"Crystal defect" seems to be, by far, the more widely used term, and the earliest, too. I would imagine a crystallographic defect to be a problem of the technique, not of the lattice. Should the article be moved and the redirect reversed? Perhaps there's a domain expert who could clarify?

Or even better: lattice defect? Latrissium (talk) 20:34, 19 November 2017 (UTC) Latrissium (talk) 20:34, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
