[edit] Split point defects

the point defect article can be dealt with separately, in detail, by adding more information on point defects in metals and ionic crystals.LeaveSleaves 10:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- agreed. ~blah
- It's a good idea to have pages specializing in point defects, specific types of point defects (vacancies, interstitials, impurities), as well as line defects (there is already one on dislocations), planar defects (like grain boundaries, buried interfaces, stacking faults, and surfaces plus their reconstruction), and myriad inclusion types. However, a page putting the various types of defects into a common context is important as well. Hence my inclination would be to start a page on your favorite defect type, and link to it from here.

Split is a good idea. Cewvero (talk) 20:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget about ionic defects--especially as they pertain to the result of doping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzarfos (talk • contribs) 10:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Effects of defects

This article needs to explain what effects defects have on mechanical and electronic properties of materials - i.e. why do we care about defects? 131.203.12.253 22:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
