Abstract
The mutation of a helium filled vacancy by emitting interstitials is studied with computer simulation for the case of αFe and Mo. For Mo a comparative study was made with three sets of potentials. In all cases there is a tendency for the emitted interstitial to remain bound to the mutated complex. Mutation proceeds at lower helium fillings if the metal potential used simulates a less rigid lattice; in that case the calculated results sare also more in line with thermal helium desorption experiments.Keywords
