Defects in Crystals: Point Defects and Dislocations

Description

This lecture covers the basics of point defects in crystalline materials, including vacancies, interstitials, and substitutional atoms, and their impact on material properties. It also delves into dislocations, focusing on edge dislocations and their formation in crystals. The energy relaxation around defects and dislocations is discussed, emphasizing the importance of accurate structure stability calculations.
