Question
What is the difference between Schottky and Frenkel defect ?

Answer

Frenkel DefectSchottkey Defect
1.The positive and negative ions (cations and anions) leaves its lattice position and occupies a vacant interstitial site existing between the cations and anions in the crystal.The positive and negative ions are completely missing from their lattice positions. The number of cations and anions which are missing is the same.
2.Density remains the same.Density of the crystal decreases.
3.Dielectric constant incre-ases.Dielectric constant remains the same.
4.Stability decreases and electrical conductivity increases, due to presence of ions in voids.Stability of crystal decreases and the electrical conductivity increases due to the formation of voids.
