Abstract

An ideal crystal is defined as an infinite arrangement of atoms in three dimensions which satisfies certain symmetry conditions; such an array is called a crystal lattice. An essential feature of an ideal crystal lattice is that the environment of an atom in the crystal is identical to the environment of any other equivalent atom. But defects (or imperfections) do occur in crystals. An imperfection is any deviation from a regular lattice. These imperfections may be classified according to their dimensions.
