Theoretical insights into non-Arrhenius behaviors of thermal vacancies in anharmonic crystals

Vacancies are prevalent point defects in crystals, but their thermal responses are elusive. Herein, we formulate a simple theoretical model to shed light on the vacancy evolution during heating. Vibrational excitations are thoroughly investigated via moment recurrence techniques in quantum statistic...
