Which of the following statements is/are correct ?
A strong current of trivalent gaseous boron passed through a germanium crystal decreases the density of the crystal due to part replacement of germanium by boron and due to interstitial vacancies created by missing Ge atoms. In one such experiment, one gram of germanium is taken and the boron atoms are found to be $150$ ppm by weight when the density of the Ge crystal decreases by $4\%$. Calculate the percentage of missing vacancies due to germanium which are filled up by boron atoms. Atomic weight of Ge $= 72.6$ amu and $B = 11$ amu.
Crystals have 'vacant sites' or 'defects' in them. When light strikes a photographic silver bromide paper, silver atoms move in through these defects to:
The pink colour of lithium chloride crystal is due to:
