Abstract
The energies of formation for two configurations of an interstitial in a face-centered cubic crystal were calculated. One interstitial was in the body-centered position and the other is formed by two atoms sharing and slightly displaced from a normal face-center site. A Morse potential function for copper was used for the interaction between the atoms. The results of this calculation indicate that the energies of formation differ by a small fraction of an electron volt.Keywords
