Is Schottky Defect Stoichiometric?

Both Fronkel and Schottky defects are stoichiometric defects.

Which defect is stoichiometric defect?

Stoichiometric defects are intrinsic defects in which the ratio of cations to anions remains exactly the same as represented by the molecular formula. They are mainly of two types: Vacancy defects in which an atom is not present at its lattice sites causing that lattice site to be vacant and create a vacancy defect.

What are two types of stoichiometric defects?

-There are two types of stoichiometric defects. One is schottky defect and the other is frenkel. Schottky defect occurs when equal numbers of cations and anions are missing from the lattice. -Frenkel defect arises when an ion is missing from its actual lattice site and it occupies any interstitial site.
