Abstract

It is shown that in addition to Frenkel’s and Schottky’s defects there is another type of equilibrium defects, such as an unstable pairs (UP) : vacancy and interstitial atom. UP has the life time of the order of 10-1010-12s, independent of temperature. The review of the unstable pairs physics is presented. Numerous experimental evidences of equilibrium UP in semiconductors, insulators, especially in superionic crystals, and metals are discussed.
