2.12 Defect Equilibria in Non-Stoichiometric Oxides


2.12.1 Oxygen Deficient Oxides

In the following sections, we take example of MO type oxygen deficient oxides with cases when either oxygen vacancies may dominate or metal excess may dominate in the form of metal interstitials or when both kinds of defects are simultaneously present.
