A Schottky defect is a vacancy (point) defect in which an equal number of cations and anions are missing from their normal lattice sites. Equal numbers are lost so that the crystal remains electrically neutral. This defect lowers the density of the crystal.
It appears in ionic compounds in which:
- the cation and anion are of nearly similar size, and
- the coordination number is high. …
