POLYMORPHISM & ALLOTROPY
Some materials may exist in more than one crystal structure, this is called polymorphism. If the material is an elemental solid, it is called allotropy. An example of allotropy is carbon, which can exist as diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon.

X-Ray Diffraction
Diffraction gratings must have spacings comparable to the wavelength of diffracted radiation. Can’t resolve spacings < λSpacing is the distance between parallel planes of atoms.

Measurement of critical angle, θc, allows computation of planar spacing, d.
• Incoming X-rays diffract from crystal planes.

Perfection…In terms of:1. Chemical composition – pure2. Atomic arrangement – defect free
Both are critical in determining the performance of material. But, real engineering materials are not perfect.Properties can be altered through defect engineering.

Classification of Defects
The defects are classified on the basis of dimensionality:
0-dimensional: point defects1-dimensional: line defects2-dimensional: interfacial defects3-dimensional: bulk defects

Point Defects – 0 dim.- localized disruption in regularity of the lattice- on and between lattice sites3 Types:1. Substitutional Impurity- occupies normal lattice site- dopant ☺, e.g., P in Si- contaminant Li+ in NaCl2. Interstitial Impurity- occupies position between lattice sites- alloying element ☺, e.g., C in Fe- contaminant, H in Fe3. Vacancy- unoccupied lattice site- formed at time of crystallization

SubstitutionalVacancy

Population of vacancies in a crystalIn a crystal containing N atomic sites, the number nd of vacant sites:
nd = the number of defects (in equilibrium at T) N = the total number of atomic sites per mole ∆Hd = the energy necessary to form the defect T = the absolute temperature (K) k = the Boltzmann constant A = proportionality constant

Point Defects in Ionic CrystalsMaintain global charge neutrality
1. Schottky Imperfectionformation of equivalent (notnecessarily equal) numbers ofcationic and anionic vacancies
2. Frenkel Imperfectionformation of an ion vacancy andan ion interstitial
