The study of defects and disorder in solids remains a central topic in solid state science. Any deviation from the perfect atomic arrangement in a crystal is said to contain imperfections or defects. They are common because positions of atoms or molecules at repeating fixed distances determined by the unit cell parameters in crystals, which exhibit a periodic crystal structure, are usually imperfect.
