In a crystal containing a distribution of point defects the locations of the defects are correlated. A simple and important correlation is one which prevents two defects from occupying the same position. Such correlations influence the average interaction energy of one defect with all others. The respective contributions to the energy are calculated for isotropic and cubic materials, and the results are applied to the problem of ferroelasticity.
