Which consequence results when vacancy concentration exceeds acceptable limits in sputter-deposited alloy thin-films?

💡 Explanation

Compromised long-range atomic ordering results due to high lattice vacancy concentration facilitating atom diffusion and rearrangement, which inhibits the regular arrangement required for crystal growth, therefore the lattice structure degrades rather than enhancing other properties because the vacancy affects periodicity.
