The configuration energies of different Frenkel pairs in molybdenum are calculated by computer simulation. It is found that for a close pair created in the [100] direction, the vacancy–interstitial interaction depends on the orientation of the split-interstitial axis with respect to the [100] (vacancy) direction. This anisotropy is related with the anisotropy of the two interacting relaxation fields around the defects.
