Abstract Based on the real structure of solids a model of the finite defect chain is developed. Preserving a general validity the model allows the treatment of arbitrary potential functions containing the Coulomb potential as a case of special interest. For this potential the model leads to an analytical derivation of the exponential trap distribution, this way being physically testified for the first time.
