In the realm of materials science, interstitial defects are remarkable imperfections that introduce new elements into the crystal lattice of solids, leading to significant modifications in material properties. Interstitial defects occur when foreign atoms or ions occupy the spaces between regular lattice sites. Despite their small size, these interstitials can have profound effects on material characteristics such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and diffusion rates.
