Thus, the EA potential is considered an appropriate choice for the current study concerning the accurate description of the energetics of interfaces.
Furthermore, since the calculated interfacial energy is located in the lower part of the experimental range, the obtained interface structure might resemble an authentic configuration of an energetically favorable interface structure of a 3C-SiC precipitate in c-Si.
