Definition
The three-dimensional array of points coinciding with
atom positions.
In polycrystalline materials, a defect may exist
between adjacent crystals having different
crystallographic orientations.
Two common types of dislocations are found in
metals. A linear defect along the end of an extra
half-plane of atoms, the edge of which terminates
within the crystal.
A defect formed by distortion of the lattice as may
be produced by simple shear stress.
Most dislocations found in crystalline materials
exhibit components of both screw and edge
dislocation.
An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due
to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
In a ceramic, Schottky defects are missing a cation
and anion.
In a ceramic, Schottky defects are missing a cation
and anion.
Copolymers may be composed of two or more units
arranged and this form: random, graft, block, and
alternating copolymers.
A huge molecule made up of thousands of atoms.
A stable molecule from which a polymer can be
synthesized.
A combination of two or more metals in a solid
solution.
A homogeneous crystalline phase that contains two
or more chemical species. Both substitutional and
interstitial solid solutions are possible.
Represents the fraction of total number of chains
within the corresponding size range.
