However, this fact could not be reproduced by spin polarized \textsc{vasp} calculations performed in this work.
Present results suggest this configuration to correspond to a real local minimum.
In fact, an additional barrier has to be passed to reach this configuration starting from the \ci{} \hkl<1 0 0> interstitial configuration, which is investigated in section~\ref{subsection:100mig}.
-After slightly displacing the C atom along the \hkl[1 0 0] (equivalent to a displacement along \hkl[0 1 0]), \hkl[0 0 1], \hkl[0 0 -1] and \hkl[1 -1 0] direction the distorted structures relax back into the BC configuration.

As will be shown in subsequent migration simulations, the same would happen to structures where the C atom is displaced along the migration direction, which approximately is the \hkl[1 1 0] direction.
These relaxations indicate that the BC configuration is a real local minimum instead of an assumed saddle point configuration.
Fig.~\ref{img:defects:bc_conf} shows the structure, charge density isosurface and Kohn-Sham levels of the BC configuration.

Activation energies as low as \unit[0.1]{eV} and \unit[0.6]{eV} are observed.
-In the first case the Si and C atom of the DB move towards the vacant and initial DB lattice site respectively.
+In the first case, the Si and C atom of the DB move towards the vacant and initial DB lattice site respectively.
In total three Si-Si and one more Si-C bond is formed during transition.
The activation energy of \unit[0.1]{eV} is needed to tilt the DB structure.
Once this barrier is overcome, the C atom forms a bond to the top left Si atom and the \si{} atom capturing the vacant site is forming new tetrahedral bonds to its neighbored Si atoms.
