Abstract: Vacant crystal lattice sites, or vacancies, allow atoms to migrate in a crystalline solid. A new way of measuring such vacancies using laser interferometry shows how vacancy concentration changes with a sudden increase in temperature. This technique could be used to study the mechanical strength of certain alloys.
