find defects lower the density of crystal

U. Janani 22nd Jan, 2021

Hi Rahaman!

Schottky Defect is the defect which lowers the density of Crystals! Schottky Defect is a point defect which is caused by vacant positions. When oppositely charged ions leave their positions, vacancies are created. Hence the density becomes low. The surrounding atoms also move to occupy these vacancies!

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!
