+As the \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell interstitial is the lowest configuration in energy it is the most probable hence important interstitial configuration of carbon in silicon.
+It was first identified by infra-red (IR) spectroscopy \cite{bean70} and later on by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy \cite{watkins76}.
+
+Figure \ref{fig:defects:100db_cmp} schematically shows the \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell structure and table \ref{tab:defects:100db_cmp} lists the details of the atomic displacements, distances and bond angles obtained by analytical potential and quantum-mechanical calculations.
+For comparison, the obtained structures for both methods visualized out of the atomic position data are presented in figure \ref{fig:defects:100db_vis_cmp}.

+The silicon atom numbered '1' and the C atom compose the dumbbell structure.
+They share the lattice site which is indicated by the dashed red circle and which they are displaced from by length $a$ and $b$ respectively.
+The atoms no longer have four tetrahedral bonds to the silicon atoms located on the alternating opposite edges of the cube.
+Instead, each of the dumbbell atoms forms threefold coordinated bonds, which are located in a plane.
+One bond is formed to the other dumbbell atom.
+The other two bonds are bonds to the two silicon edge atoms located in the opposite direction of the dumbbell atom.
+The distance of the two dumbbell atoms is almost the same for both types of calculations.
+However, in the case of the VASP calculation, the dumbbell structure is pushed upwards compared to the Erhard/Albe results.
+This is easily identified by comparing the values for $a$ and $b$ and the two structures in figure \ref{fig:defects:100db_vis_cmp}.
+Thus, the angles of bonds of the silicon dumbbell atom ($\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$) are closer to $120^{\circ}$ signifying the predominance of $sp^2$ hybridization.
+On the other hand, the carbon atom forms an almost collinear bond ($\theta_3$) with the two silicon edge atoms implying the predominance of $sp$ bonding.
+This is supported by the image of the charge density isosurface in figure \ref{img:defects:charge_den_and_ksl}.
+The two lower Si atoms are $sp^3$ hybridised and form $\sigma$ bonds to the silicon dumbbell atom.
+The same is true for the upper two silicon atoms and the C dumbbell atom.
+In addition the dumbbell atoms form $\pi$ bonds.
+However, due to the increased electronegativity of the carbon atom the electron density is attracted by and thus localized around the carbon atom.
+In the same figure the Kohn-Sham levels are shown.
+There is no magnetization density.
+An acceptor level arises at approximately $E_v+0.35\text{ eV}$ while a band gap of about 0.75 eV can be estimated from the Kohn-Sham level diagram for plain silicon.
