Perfect crystal

Crystalline materials (mainly
planar defects.[1] There are a wide variety of crystallographic defects
.
The hypothetical concept of a perfect crystal is important in the basic formulation of the third law of thermodynamics.
In crystallography, the phrase 'perfect crystal' can be used to mean "no linear or planar imperfections", as it is difficult to measure small quantities of point imperfections in an otherwise defect-free crystal.
Imperfections are created by various
thermodynamic
processes.
