Disorder in crystalline materials No perfectly ordered materials Many materials are technologically of value because they are disordered/imperfect in some way: silicon devices – controlled levels of deliberate impurity additions (ppb)p-type : BSi B + h n-type : PSi P + e steels – additions of 0.1 to 1 at% other metals to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance
5
stoichiometric compounds elements present in simple (small) integer ratios e.g. NaCl, BaTiO 3 non-stoichiometric compounds non-integer e.g. Fe 0.92 O, Ca 0.98 Y 0.02 F 2.02 Intrinsic defects – do not change overall composition – stoichiometric defects Extrinsic defects– created when foreign atom(s) introduced or there is valence change
6
Types of defect: Crystal imperfections Orientational disorder Point defects
7
Crystal imperfections perfect crystal – all atoms on their correct lattice positions (actual positions affected by extent of thermal vibrations which can be anisotropic) imperfect crystal extended defects - dislocations - grain boundaries - stacking faults - twinning
8
Orientational disorder groups of atoms which are non-spherically symmetric - ammonium salts - linear chains Point defects vacancies, interstitials, incorrect atoms - Schottky - Frenkel - substitution
9
Extent of disorder Crystal imperfections- depends on preparation and mechanical history Orientational disorder- depends on temperature Point defects- Schottky and Frenkel normally v. low because formation energy high - Frenkel high in certain classes of materials e.g. Superionics - substitution to high degree in some materials - alloys - spinels
10
CRYSTAL IMPERFECTIONS - dislocations - grain boundaries - twinning
11
Dislocations – linear defects Source: -growth -stress Evidence: -metals more deformable than predicted (but can be strengthened by impurities) -spiral growths on surface of some crystals -reactions occur at active surface sites Types: edge, screw, intermediate Transmission electron micrograph of Ti alloy – dark lines are dislocations (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
12
Dislocations revealed by etching ‘Etch pits’ produced by preferential etching by acid of the points where dislocations intersect the surface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation
13
Edge dislocation – partial plane of atoms – lattice distorted where plane ends Dislocations characterised by the Burgers vector, b -magnitude and direction found by tracing loop around the dislocation - for metals, b points in a close-packed direction and equals the interatomic spacing (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
14
Dislocation motion – dislocation moves under application of a shear stress (easy for bonds to swap between atoms at dislocation since they are already strained) (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
15
Motion of dislocations called slip; the plane over which the dislocation moves is called the slip plane For an edge dislocation: b is perpendicular to the dislocation line b is parallel to the direction of motion of the dislocation line under an applied stress. (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
16
Screw dislocation partial slip of a crystal on one side of dislocation line, crystal has undergone slip; on other side, crystal is normal continued application of shear stress causes dislocation to move through crystal b is parallel to dislocation line (opposite to Edge) b is perpendicular to motion of this line (opposite to Edge) but b is parallel to direction of shear and slip in both cases Shear stress (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
17
Quarter dislocation loop combined edge and screw dislocation - pure edge on one face; - pure screw on adjacent face; - mixed in-between loops expand easily but asymmetrically because edge moves easier than screw (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
18
Pinning dislocations dislocations make metals easier to deform to improve strength of metals, need to stop dislocation motion trap with: - impurity atoms; - other dislocations (work hardening; - grain boundaries. atom trap (Callister: Materials Science and Engineering)
19
Effects of crystal structure Preferred set of slip planes on which dislocations can occur and also preferred slip directions for dislocation movement slip system slip plane – plane having most dense atom packing slip direction – direction, in plane, having highest linear density Energy required to move dislocation by one unit translation E |b| 2 the most abundant dislocations in a material are those with the smallest value of b
20
b Shear in close-packed direction by one unit b = d E d 2, where d is the diameter of the sphere (atom) Shear in non-close-packed direction by one unit b = d 2 E 2d 2 In metals, direction of motion of dislocation is usually parallel to one of the directions of close packing b 2d
21
b Tensile F on crystal F Slip plane b Tensile F Resolved shear in slip plane Tensile force produces shear force in slip plane
22
Stress on plane S A = F/A sp = F(cos )/A Critical resolved shear stress - S b - parallel to direction of slip on slip plane S b = S A cos = (F/A)cos cos - angle between slip direction and stress axis Maximum value of S b occurs when = = 45 o giving S b = ½(F/A) When slip plane is either parallel or perpendicular to F, the resolved shear stress is 0 and slip cannot occur. b Slip plane area A sp F SbSb Cross-section of crystal area A

b Slip plane area A sp F SbSb Cross-section of crystal area A

26
Interfacial (planar) defects boundaries separating regions of different crystal structure or crystallographic orientation e.g. external surfaces (see final section of module)
27
Grain boundaries D = b/ b Internal surfaces of a single crystal where ideal domains (mosaic) meet with some misalignment: high-angle and small(low)-angle. NB – in polycrystalline materials, grain boundaries are more extensive and may even separate different phases Small-angle grain boundary equivalent to linear array of edge dislocations bonding not fully satisfied region of higher energy, more reactive, impurities present.
