The study of point defects in non-metallic crystals is important for various materials applications. Consistent definitions and terminology are necessary for progress in this field. This Comment clarifies the definitions of point defects, advocates for the correct use of relative charge in their description, and emphasizes their recognition as quasiparticles.
The study of point defects in non-metallic crystals has become relevant for an increasing number of materials applications. Progress requires a foundation of consistent definitions and terminology. This Comment clarifies the underlying definitions of point defects, encourages the correct use of relative charge for their description and emphasizes their recognition as quasiparticles.
