The phrase "attributed to the defect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the cause or reason for a problem or issue, particularly in technical or analytical contexts.
Example: "The malfunction of the device was attributed to the defect in the manufacturing process."
Alternatives: "ascribed to the defect" or "linked to the defect".
The automaker said it wasn't aware of any accidents attributed to the defect.
The PL mechanism can thus be attributed to the defect levels within the band gap, induced by CQDs.
The degradation of adhesion could be attributed to the defect formation and impurity segregation at the TGO/bond coat interface, which is associated with the diffusion of Pt.
The first is related to disorder structure bond attributed to the defect in the curved graphene sheet and tube ends or even amorphous carbons.
This emission is normally attributed to the defect emission due to oxygen deficiencies [24] or the intrinsic defects related to oxygen [25].
The luminescence at 514 nm reported by Lin et al. [19, 35] has been attributed to the defect (a paramagnetic state of Si cluster or a delocalized variant of the E′ center).
The superior mechanical and electrochemical properties of the said coating can be attributed to the defect-less microstructure and the optimal role of ZrO2 nanoparticles in the secondary PEO process at 240 V.
The high permittivity of RGO is attributed to the defects.
However, reduced fatigue strength was observed in the high-cycle region, which might be attributed to the defects at the coating/substrate interface produced during the surface modification.
