I think if you read a few of these articles on crystals and how defects are effected you may be able to find/reason out the answer to your question. 

Sometimes a push in the right direction can make everything CRYSTAL
;D

Defects in Crystalline Solids:

Crystals:

Crystallographic Defects:

When you finish reading the background, try targeting KEY WORDS to do an internet search to find the applications and industries where crystals with defects are used.. ;)
