How Does Temperature Affect Defect Concentration?

Temperature plays a critical role in the concentration of defects as described by the Schottky formula. As temperature increases, the exponential term exp(-E/kT) increases, leading to a higher concentration of defects. This is particularly relevant for high-temperature applications in nanotechnology, such as in nanocatalysts and thermoelectric materials.
