Consider a hypothetical crystal in which defect type A has a formation energy of 1.0 eV and defect type B has a formation energy of 2.0 eV. Assume the crystal can exist at any temperature. Consider the following statements: i - At 300K, defect type A is more common than defect type B. ii - At 600K, defect type B is more common than defect type A. iii - At infinite temperature, the two defect types are equally common. Which of these statements are TRUE?
