This corresponds to a spherical 3C-SiC precipitate with a radius of approximately \unit[3]{nm}.
The initial precipitate configuration is constructed in two steps.
In the first step the surrounding Si matrix is created.
This is realized by just skipping the generation of Si atoms inside a sphere of radius $x$, which is the first unknown variable.
The Si lattice constant $a_{\text{Si}}$ of the surrounding c-Si matrix is assumed to not alter dramatically and, thus, is used for the initial lattice creation.
In a second step 3C-SiC is created inside the empty sphere of radius $x$.
