Question

Similarities and differences schottky and frenkel defect

Answer 1

Answer: Main Difference – Schottky Defect vs Frenkel Defect

A crystal lattice is the symmetrical 3D arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A point defect is a vacant point created due to the loss of an atom from the lattice. Therefore, the lattice becomes irregular and asymmetrical. Schottky defect and Frenkel defect are two types of point defects found in crystal lattices. The main difference between Schottky defect and Frenkel defect is that Schottky defect reduces the density of the crystal whereas Frenkel defect does not have any impact on the density of the crysta.
