Abstract
This review surveys present knowledge of the nature and behaviour of point defects, especially vacancies. The general theoretical concepts and various experimental observations connected with the formation and mobility of vacancies and their complexes, their effect on the physical properties of metals, are described. The formation of secondary defects by vacancy condensation, the interaction between vacancies and solute atoms and some general ideas about point defects, are also discussed in detail.
