questions, and one problem I&amp;rsquo;m frequently having is with notation.&amp;nbsp; I
am not certain which notation is used for mole fraction, atom percent,
concentration, or just number when talking about a specific type of
defect in crystals.&amp;nbsp; To compound the matter, we are learning about
these defects in thermo as well, and while they use the Kroger vink
notation as well, I&amp;rsquo;m having a lot of difficulty following.&amp;nbsp; Can you
consolidate, or simplify this problem for me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is not that complicated; when you see square brackets that is a mole FRACTION and dimensionless.&amp;nbsp; If you see something like Vo, n or p, WITHOUT brackets then that is usually either per mole or per m3 depending on the problem.&amp;nbsp; When dealing with conductivity then you HAVE to use number of defects per m3.&amp;nbsp; Michel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2809" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ch. 7 pdf</title><link>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/archive/2008/02/14/Ch.-7-pdf.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:14:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">28407c84-3155-498d-8296-280541a76566:2797</guid><dc:creator>Michel Barsoum</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/comments/2797.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/commentrss.aspx?PostID=2797</wfw:commentRss><description>Ch. 7 pdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2797" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><enclosure url="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/attachment/2797.ashx" length="4392725" type="application/pdf" /></item><item><title>Ch. 7 final</title><link>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/archive/2008/02/14/Ch.-7-final.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:13:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">28407c84-3155-498d-8296-280541a76566:2796</guid><dc:creator>Michel Barsoum</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/comments/2796.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/commentrss.aspx?PostID=2796</wfw:commentRss><description>Ch. 7 final&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2796" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><enclosure url="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/attachment/2796.ashx" length="3240960" type="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" /></item><item><title>Here are the teams</title><link>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/archive/2008/02/14/Here-are-the-teams.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:13:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">28407c84-3155-498d-8296-280541a76566:2795</guid><dc:creator>Michel Barsoum</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/comments/2795.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/commentrss.aspx?PostID=2795</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Sean Miller, Russ Marron, Courtney Reid, Barbara Robinson, Eric Brenner&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thao Vi Le, Mike Wang, Sean Garner, Dominic &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Di Prato, Schecter, Antonakos, Leithead, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fahnestock, Tallman, Pugh, Mussey, Chan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCormic, Pelletier, Snow, Hartshorne&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CJ, Sexton, Ismail, Coyle&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eric, Riblett, Jamison, Fallis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ari, Devillier, Camichael, Coffey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2795" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Problem Set due Thursday 21 Feb. </title><link>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/archive/2008/02/13/Problem-Set-due-Thursday-21-Feb.-.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:07:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">28407c84-3155-498d-8296-280541a76566:2790</guid><dc:creator>Michel Barsoum</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/comments/2790.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/340_ceramics/commentrss.aspx?PostID=2790</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Ch. 6: 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.8, 6.9 + all worked examples in section covered.&lt;br /&gt;Ch. 7: 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 7.13 + all worked examples in sections covered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an important quiz and will count for 2 quizzes...&amp;nbsp; Cheers.
