Seitz model

The Seitz model is a theoretical framework used to understand the behavior of materials, particularly in the context of crystal structures and their defects. It explains how atoms in a solid can arrange themselves in orderly patterns and how imperfections (like vacancies or impurities) can affect properties such as strength, conductivity, and malleability. By studying these arrangements and defects, scientists can predict how materials will perform in various applications, leading to better designs in fields like engineering and materials science. The model helps bridge the gap between microscopic atomic arrangements and macroscopic material behavior.
