In this lecture we learn the nomenclature of point defects in crystalline solids, such as vacancies, interstitials and substitutional defects. This is followed by a brief overview of intrinsic vacancies in ionic solids – Schottky defects, Frenkel defects and color centers. The lecture ends with an overview of the thermodynamics of defect formation. This lecture was designed and delivered by Patrick Woodward for use in the course Solid State Chemistry (Chem 7330) at Ohio State University.
