IMPERFECTIONS IN SOLID
LEARNING ACTIVITY 4: IDENTIFICATION
1. Refers to a lattice irregularity having one or more of its dimensions on the order of an atomic diameter.
Crystalline Defects
2-4. Three types of imperfections.
Point Defect, Linear Defect, and Area/Interfacial Defect
5 -6. Two types of impurity point defects.
Substitutional Point Defect and Interstitial Point Defect
7. Simplest of the point defects.
Vacancies
8. Point defect where solute or impurity atoms replace or substitute for the host atoms.
Substitutional Point Defect
9. Point defect where impurity atoms fill the voids or interstices among the host atoms.
Interstitial Point Defect
10. Linear defect that centers on the line that is defined along the end of the extra-half plane atoms.
Edge Dislocation
11. Symbol designated to the answer in number 10.
Inverted ‘T’
12. Linear defect which illustrate the spiral or helical path or ramp that is traced around the dislocation line
by the atomic planes of atoms.
Screw Dislocation
13. Symbol designated to the answer in number 12.
Counterclockwise arrow
14. Magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion associated with a dislocation.
Mixed Dislocation
15. Interfacial defect where the surface atoms are not bonded to the maximum number of nearest
neighbors and are therefore in a higher energy state than the atoms at interior positions.
External Surfaces
16. Interfacial defect where the boundary separating two small grains or crystals having different
crystallographic orientations in polycrystalline materials.
Grain Boundaries
17. Interfacial defect exist in multiphase material, wherein a different phase exists on each side of the
boundary.
Phase Boundaries
18. Interfacial defect that is a special type of grain boundary across which there is a specific mirror lattice
symmetry.
Twin Boundaries
19. One-dimensional defect around which atoms are misaligned.
Line Imperfections
20. Two dimensions and normally separate regions of the materials.
Surface Imperfections
