English: Schematic illustration of defects in a compound solid, using GaAs as an example. The defect notation is such that the upper-case letters stand for atoms or vacancies (V) on a lattice site, and the subscripts for the lattice site in a perfect crystal. The subscript i stands for an interstitial site and the subscript S for a substitutional site. Thus e.g. Asi stands for a As atom on an interstitial site, VGa for a missing atom on the Ga sublattice, GaAs for a Ga antisite atom on the As sublattice, and BS for a B atom on a substitutional site.
This notation is a variety of en:Kroger-Vink Notation for non-ionic solids.
Note that this 2D illustration does of course not correspond to the
real en:zincblende 3D crystal structure of GaAs.
