Both types of defects are examined in the following both by classical potential as well as density functional theory calculations. In case of the classical potential calculations a simulation volume of nine silicon lattice constants in each direction is used. Calculations are performed in an isothermal-isobaric NPT ensemble. Coupling to the heat bath is achieved by the Berendsen thermostat with a time constant of 100 fs. The temperature is set to zero Kelvin. -Pressure is controlled by a Berendsen barostat again using a time constant of 100 fs and a bulk modulus of 100 GPa for silicon. +Pressure is controlled by a Berendsen barostat \cite{berendsen84} again using a time constant of 100 fs and a bulk modulus of 100 GPa for silicon. To exclude surface effects periodic boundary conditions are applied. Due to the restrictions in computer time three silicon lattice constants in each direction are considered sufficiently large enough for DFT calculations. The ions are relaxed by a conjugate gradient method. -The cell volume and shape is allowed to change using the pressure control algorithm of Parinello and Rahman \cite{}. +The cell volume and shape is allowed to change using the pressure control algorithm of Parrinello and Rahman \cite{parrinello81}.
