The motion of point defects permits diffusion of atoms and so is involved in virtually all processing of materials in the solid state, whether metals, ceramics, or semiconductors. The actual determination of the nature of the point defects continues to be at the forefront of research. Philibert, J. Atom Movements . Translated by S.J. Rothman.
