what are the "charged" vacancies
hi,
I was trying to read some theoretical articles for my research project in solid state physics.
Can someone tell me what are the "charged" vacancies. For example, some articles talk about, let's say, oxygen +2 versus oxygen +1 vacancies. What does it mean physically? Can we measure vacancies (i.e. their charges) experimentally. Why only consider 0, +1, +2 charge, and not +3, +4...etc?
Thank you.
