General expressions for the friction tensors and the fluid velocity field are also obtained.

The idea is to perform susceptibility measurements before and after applying a strong magnetic field for some time, with the aid of a SQUID or NMR. If this magnetic annealing reduces the susceptibility, it provides evidence for the existence of metastable trapped vacancies in the original sample. With this procedure it may also be possible to clarify the issue of the existence of a "vacancy solid." Finally, the effects of the tendency of vacancies to cluster are discussed.

The dominant dynamic process which drives this system toward this three dimensional equilibrium changes from Ostwald ripening at low deposition rates to coalescence at higher deposition rates. The experimental data allow us to test several theoretical predictions for cluster size distributions based on a detailed study of the microscopic processes. These include, at higher deposition rates, the observation of local ripening effects and diffusion limited growth.

Some general properties of these (translational and rotational) mobility tensors are discussed. Explicit expressions are derived up to order R -7. To this order, hydrodynamic interactions between two, three and four spheres contribute.
