The dissolution of the vacancy gas in solids and high pressure phase transitions
Abstract
The formula for the number density of vacancies in a solid under pressure is obtained. The mean number density of vacancies in a solid under stress or tension is also estimated. The dissolution of the vacancy gas in solids is shown to be responsible for the phases with composite incommensurate structures in metals under high pressure and also for the low values of the elastic limit and tensile strength of solids.
