Vacancies dominate mass transport in crystals by playing key roles in electromigration growth of voids in integrated circuit interconnects, impurity diffusion, and dislocation creep and climb. These ...
Imperfections of crystal structure, especially edge dislocations of an elongated nature, deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications.

Scientists turn crystal defects into quantum superhighways for scalable qubits
Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections ...
(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers, led by Professor Yu Zou (MSE), is using electric fields to control the motion of material defects. This work has important implications for ...
AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...
Physicists have succeeded in creating a defect in the structure of a single-layer crystal by simply inserting an extra particle, and then watching as the crystal "heals" itself. In a paper just ...
