Abstract
A model calculation of the vacancy tunneling frequency in bcc3He, hcp3He, and hcp4He is presented. Only the Debye temperature (and its volume dependence) and vacancy activation energies (from NMR data) are used; comparison with experiment is made. The relative tunneling rates in the three systems along with NMR and specific heat data provide evidence for the nature of vacancy motion in each of these systems.
