AbstractMotivated by experimental hints for supersolidity in Helium-4, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of vacancies and interstitials in a classical two-and three-dimensional Lennard-Jones solid. We confirm a strong binding energy of vacancies which is of the order of the Lennard-Jones attraction. This is reminiscent of what has been found for vacancies in Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, we find a strong attraction and large binding energy of interstitials in two-dimensional simulations. This is mainly due to the formation of a pair of dislocations by clustering interstitials, which minimizes the elastic deformation energy. We interpret the results in light of the properties of Helium-4. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008.

Funding Information:

The ALPS libraries [26, 27] were used for parallelization and error evaluation. The simulations were performed on the Hreidar cluster of ETH Zurich and the hpcpower cluster of HKU. We acknowledge fruitful discussions with J. Wang, G. H. Chen, S. Q. Shen, and P. Corboz. Financial support from RGC of HKSAR is also greatly acknowledged.
