Example
13.32 If CuO is exposed to reducing atmospheres at elevated temperatures, some of the Cu 2+ ions will become Cu +. (a) Under these conditions, name one crystalline defect that you would expect to form in order to maintain charge neutrality. (b) How many Cu + ions are required for the creation of each defect? (c) How would you express the chemical formula for this nonstoichiometric material?
(a) For a Cu2+O2- compound in which a small fraction of the Cu2+ ions exist as Cu+, for each Cu+ formed there is one less positive charge introduced (or one more negative charge). In order to maintain charge neutrality, we must either add an additional positive charge or subtract a negative charge. This may be accomplished be either creating Cu2+ interstitials or O2- vacancies.
(b) There will be two Cu+ ions required for each of these defects.
(c) The chemical formula for this nonstoichiometric material is Cu1+xO or CuO1-x , where x is some small fraction.

Example
A reaction-bonded silicon nitride ceramic has a strength of 300 MPa and a fracture toughness of 3.6 MPa-m1/2. What is the largest-size internal crack that this material can support without fracture? Assume Y = 1.

Example 13.39
The fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching away alter surface crack geometry (i.e. reduce crack length and increase the tip radius). Compute the ratio of the original and etched crack tip radii for an eightfold increase in fracture strength if two-thirds of the crack length is removed.
