4.2.6 Crystal Defects and Displacement Fields<br />

The presence <strong>of</strong> a defect <strong>in</strong> a crystal causes a disruption <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> positions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> atoms<br />

as predicted by <strong>the</strong> Bravais lattice translation vectors. The atoms are displaced from<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir positions by a vector R which is a function <strong>of</strong> position r. This vector field R(r) is<br />

known as <strong>the</strong> displacement field and relates <strong>the</strong> displaced position r’ <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> atom to<br />

<strong>the</strong> ideal position r by,<br />

r '<br />

r R(r)<br />

(4.34)<br />

Also <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> this displacement field causes a deviation <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

crystal from <strong>the</strong> perfect crystal at <strong>the</strong> deformed position given by,<br />
