We derive a simple expression for the vacancy formation energy in a quantal crystal near to melting in terms of its Lindemann parameter and of the density response of the liquid near to freezing. Numerical illustrations are given for vacancies in He-4 and He-3 crystals.

Abstract

We derive a simple expression for the vacancy formation energy in a quantal crystal near to melting in terms of its Lindemann parameter and of the density response of the liquid near to freezing. Numerical illustrations are given for vacancies in He-4 and He-3 crystals.
