    On the energy of formation of defects

    No full text
    We present a formulation of the Gibbs free energy of defect formation in crystals which is formally based on a quasi-classical thermodynamical cluster expansion of the Gibbs free energy of the defect crystal. Thus a microscopic formulation of the Gibbs free energy of formation is achieved. The related quantities like formation volume per defect and defect susceptibility functions are then derived from the formation energy. The resulting expressions depend only on the defect concentration and the bulk properties of the crystal. Finally we discuss an approximate form of the formation energy which was introduced intuitively by Varotsos and Alexopoulos. As an example for the applicability of this formulation we present an explanation of the anomaly in the conductivity and diffusion of AgBr. © 1978

    Leaky surface electromagnetic waves on a high-index dielectric grating.

    We show theoretically that the periodically corrugated surface of a high-index dielectric medium can support a leaky surface electromagnetic wave. This wave is bound to the surface in the vacuum, but radiates into the dielectric. Despite this radiative damping, the surface wave can have a long lifetime
