+Regarding these findings there is a clear evidence of the formation of an amorphous SiC-like phase for all high concentration simulations performed at various temperatures.
+No significant structural change is observed for elevated temperatures.
+However, with the disappearance of the peaks at the respective cut-off radii one limitation of the short range potential seems to be accomplished.
+In addition, sharper peaks in the radial distributions at distances that are also expected for a-SiC might indicate a slight acceleration of the dynamics carried out at elevated temperatures, that is an expeditious formation of a structure superiorly compareable to a-SiC.
+The increase in temperature leads to the occupation of new defect states, which is particularly evident for low carbon concentrations.
+The question remains whether these states are only occupied due to the additional supply of kinetic energy and, thus, have to be considered unnatural for temperatures applied in IBS or whether the increase in temperature indeed enabled infrequent transitions to occur much faster, thus, leading to the intended acceleration of the dynamics and weakening of the unphysical quirks inherent to the potential.
+{\color{red}Todo: Formation energy of C sub and nearby Si self-int, to see whether this is a preferable state!}
+In the first case these occupied states would be expected to be higher in energy than the states occupied at low temperatures.
+Since substitutional C without the presence of a Si self-interstitial is energetically more favorable than the lowest defect structure obtained without removing a Si atom, that is the \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell interstitial, and the migration of Si self-interstitials towards the sample surface can be assumed for real life experiments \cite{}, this approach is accepted as an accelerated way of approximatively describing the structural evolution.
+{\color{red}Todo: If C sub and Si self-int is energetically more favorable, the migration towards the surface can be kicked out. Otherwise we should actually care about removal of Si! In any way these findings suggest a different prec model.}
