39. In these materials, the oxygen vacancy also exhibits negative-U type character with the 1 charge state being unstable with respect to the 2 and 0 charge states.
40. Voronoi volumes were obtained using the voro software, see Refs..
41. Titania represents a special case because of its strong tetragonal anisotropy that is also apparent from, e.g., the dielectric and elastic constants.

43. In general, the interface dislocation network will provide additional sites for He interstitials, but this effect is ignored in the present study.

49. The direct effect of tetragonal strain on the formation energies of He interstitials in iron was tested by considering volume conserving deformation (effectively treating the material as if it had a Poisson ratio of 0.5). For a linear strain of 5 the formation energy and free volume change by only 0.16 eV and 1.5, respectively.

62. In the international crystallographic database some records for this structure are provided in the Pbnm setting. The Pnma and Pbnm settings are equivalent and can be easily transformed into each by swapping the axes. The Bilbao crystallographic server (http://www.cryst.ehu.es) uses the Pnma setting.
