In the realm of materials science, Frenkel defects are fascinating imperfections that disrupt the perfect arrangement of atoms within solid materials. Named after the Russian scientist Yakov Frenkel, these point defects occur when an atom or ion is displaced from its regular lattice site and occupies an interstitial position within the crystal structure. Frenkel defects play a crucial role in material properties and behavior, influencing various aspects ranging from electrical conductivity to optical properties.
