Question
Explain the following term:
Substitutional impurity defect
Advertisements
Solution
Substitutional impurity defect: In this defect, the foreign atoms are found at the lattice sites in place of host atoms. The regular atoms are displaced from their lattice sites by impurity atoms.
For example :
- Solid solutions of metals (alloys): Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn. In brass, host Cu atoms are replaced by the impurity of Zn atoms. The Zn atoms occupy regular sites of Cu atoms as shown in the figure.
