Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The presence of impurities could affect the results observed in pure Ni. In particular, impurities could interact with self-interstitial atoms, which are highly mobile, effectively reducing their mobility. In this work we study the influence of the mobility of self-interstitials on He desorption. The nucleation of He-vacancy complexes is studied depending on the mobility of these self-interstitials in terms of He to vacancy content as well as concentration of these complexes.
