Question
The number of vacancies N, in a crystal can be calculated using the Arrhenius equation:
N₁ = Ne Ev / KT
where N is total number of atoms, Ev is the activation energy for vacancy formation, and k
is the Boltzmann's constant and Tis the temperature.
Boltzmann constant k = 8.62 x 10¹5 ev/K
a) What are the units of 7?
b) What are the units for Ev?
c) Under what conditions can a crystal have no vacancies?
