Abstract

The self-diffusion constant in bcc solid3He is calculated in the temperature regime where an atom changes place with a neighboring vacancy more often than flip-flops are induced through the Pauli exchange interaction. The calculation is based on the method of moments and describes vacancies with a model of fictitious spinS=1. The scattering of phonons by vacancies impedes the quantum tunneling of vacancies: the quantitative discussion of this effect shows that its relation with the lifetime of vacancy waves is not simple.
