How to Calculate and Solve for Frenkel Defect | Ceramics
Last Updated on March 30, 2024
The image above represents frenkel defect. To calculate the frenkel defect, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are N, activation energy (Qfr), Boltzmann’s Constant (K) and temperature (T).
The formula for calculating the frenkel defect:
Nfr = N exp (-Qfr / 2KT)
Where:
Nfr = Frenkel Defect
Qfr = Activation Energy
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the frenkel defect when the activation energy is 34, N is 22, Temperature is 12 and the boltzmann’s constant is 1.38064852e-23.
This implies that;
Qfr = Activation Energy
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Nfr = N exp (-Qfr / 2KT)
So, Nfr = (22)exp(-(34) / 2(1.38064852e-23)(14))
Nfr = (22)exp((-34) / (3.865815856e-22))
Nfr = (22)exp(-8.795038684325786e+22)
That is, Nfr = (22)(0)
Nfr = 0
Therefore, the frenkel defect is 0.
Calculating the Activation Energy when the Frenkel Defect, the Boltzmann’s Constant and the Temperature are Given
Qfr = – (In (Nfr / N) x 2KT)
Where;
Qfr = Activation Energy
Nfr = Frenkel Defect
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the frenkel defect is 20, the boltzmann’s constant is 5, the temperature is 2 and N is 10. Find the activation energy?
This implies that;
Nfr = Frenkel Defect = 20
K = Boltzmann’s Constant = 5
T = Temperature = 2
N = 10
Qfr = – (In (Nfr / N) x 2KT)
Qfr = – (In (20 / 10) x 2 x 5 x 2)
Then, Qfr = – (In 2 x 20)
Qfr = – (In 40)
Qfr = – 3.688
Therefore, the activation energy is – 3.688.

Calculating the Boltzmann’s Constant when the Frenkel Defect, the Activation Energy and the Temperature are Given
K = – Qfr / In (Nfr / N) x 1 / 2T
Where;
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T = Temperature
Qfr = Activation Energy
Nfr = Frenkel Defect
Let’s solve an example;
Find the boltzmann’s constant when the temperature is 20, the frenkel defect is 30, the activation energy is 12 and N is 6.
This implies that;
T = Temperature = 20
Qfr = Activation Energy = 12
Nfr = Frenkel Defect = 30
N = 6
K = – Qfr / In (Nfr / N) x 1 / 2T
So, K = – 12 / In (30 / 6) x 1 / 2 x 20
K = – 12 / In 5 x 1 / 40
K = – 12 / 1.609 x 0.025
That is, K = – 7.458 x 0.025
K = – 0.1864
Therefore, the boltzmann’s constant is – 0.1864
Calculating the Temperature when the Frenkel Defect, the Activation Energy and the Boltzmann’s Constant are Given
T = – Qfr / In (Nfr / N) x 1 / 2K
Where;
T = Temperature
Qfr = Activation Energy
Nfr = Frenkel Defect
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
Let’s solve an example;
Find the temperature when the activation energy is 40, the frenkel defect is 60, the boltzmann’s constant is 20, N is 30.
This implies that;
Qfr = Activation Energy = 40
Nfr = Frenkel Defect = 60
K = Boltzmann’s Constant = 20
N = 30
T = – Qfr / In (Nfr / N) x 1 / 2K
So, T = – 40 / In (60 / 30) x 1 / 2 x 20
T = – 40 / In 30 x 1 / 40
T = – 40 / 3.401 x 0.025
That is, T = – 11.761 x 0.025
T = – 0.294
Therefore, the temperature is – 0.294.
