\begin{itemize}
- \item Temperature set to $0.95 \cdot T_{\text{m}}$
- \item Cubic insertion volume $\Rightarrow$ spherical insertion volume
- \item Amount of C atoms: 6000 $\rightarrow$ 5500
- $\Leftrightarrow r_{\text{prec}}=0.3\text{ nm}$
- \item Simulation volume: 21 unit cells of c-Si in each direction
+\item Decreasing cut-off artifact
+\item {\color{red}Amorphous} SiC-like phase remains
+\item High amount of {\color{red}damage} \& alignement to c-Si host matrix lost
+\item Slightly sharper peaks $\Rightarrow$ indicate slight {\color{blue}acceleration of dynamics} due to temperature
