Nice, since obviously matrix is big enough to exclude size effects in the system in which pbc are applied, we can consider it single precipitate in a infinite Si matrix. A new peak for the silicon pairs arises at 0.307 nm. It is identical to the peak of the C-C distribution around that value. It corresponds to second next neighbours in 3C-SiC, which applies for Si as well as C pairs. -The bumps of the Si-Si distribution at higher distances, which are marked by grey arrows and do not exist in plain c-Si, can be explained in the same manner. +The bumps of the Si-Si distribution at higher distances, which are marked by green arrows and do not exist in plain c-Si, can be explained in the same manner.
