- One way to determine a structural defect model (such as that shown in the figure below for a solid solution of Al2 O3 in MgO) is to make careful density measurements. O2- AP+ Mg2+ o Vacancy A substitutional solid solution of Al½O3 in MgO is not as simple as the case of NiO in MgO. The requirement of charge neutrality in the overall compound permits only two Al+ ions to fill every three Mg²+ vacant sites, leaving one Mg²+ vacancy.
