WHAT DOES POINT DEFECT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Crystallographic defect

Crystalline solids exhibit a periodic crystal structure. The positions of atoms or molecules occur on repeating fixed distances, determined by the unit cell parameters. However, the arrangement of atoms or molecules in most crystalline materials is not perfect. The regular patterns are interrupted by crystallographic defects.

Definition of point defect in the English dictionary

The definition of point defect in the dictionary is an imperfection in a crystal, characterized by one unoccupied lattice position or one interstitial atom, molecule, or ion.
