+
+Change 3: convergence of BZ sampling and size of the supercell
+
+-Sampling of the Brillouin zone was restricted to the $\Gamma$-point.
+-The defect structures and the migration paths have been modeled in
+ cubic supercells containing 216 Si atoms.
++To reduce the computational effort sampling of the Brillouin zone was
+ restricted to the $\Gamma$-point, which has been shown to yield
+ reliable results\cite{dal_pino93}.
++The defect structures and the migration paths were modelled in cubic
+ supercells with a side length of \unit[1.6]{nm} containing $216$ Si
+ atoms.
++Formation energies and structures are reasonably converged with
+ respect to the system size.
+
+Change 4: only small changes in volume
+
++The observed changes in volume were less than \unit[0.2]{\%} of the
+ volume indicating a rather low dependence of the results on the
+ ensemble choice.
+
+Change 5: name algorithm used for structural relaxation
+ in DFT calculations
+
++Ionic relaxation was realized by the conjugate gradient algorithm.
+
+Change 6: name reason for reservoir choice
+
++This corresponds to the definition utilized in another study on C
+ defects in Si\cite{dal_pino93} that we compare our results to.
+
+Change 7: CRT not necessarily predicts the minimum energy path
+
++While not guaranteed to find the true minimum energy path, the method
+ turns out to identify reasonable pathways for the investigated
+ structures.
+
+Change 8: added definition and explanation of the binding energy to
+ the methodology section
+
+ from: The binding energy of a defect pair ...
+ until: The interaction strength, i.e. the ...
+
+Change 9: removed Results section
+
+Change 10: added 'Comparison of classical potential and
+ first-principles methods' section
+
++In a first step, quantum-mechanical calculations of defects in Si and
+ respective diffusion processes are compared to classical potential
+ simulations as well as to results from literature.
++Shortcomings of the analytical potential approach are revealed and
+ its applicability is discussed.
+
+Change 11: comprehensive Table including all defects and methods
+
+Change 12: added text on unstable hexagonal Si defect for classical
+ potentials - necessary due to combination of manuscripts!
+
+ from: The hexagonal configuration ...
+ until: While not completely rendering impossible ...
+
+Change 13: added configurations that require spin polarized
+ calculations
+
+ from: Instead of giving an explicit value ...
+ until: No other configuration, within ...
+
+Change 14: 'Carbon mobility' section of BC11912 mapped to 'Mobility of
+ carbon defects' section
+
+Change 15: added 'Quantum-mechanical investigations of defect
+ combinations and related diffusion processes' section
+ corresponding to 'Results' section of BA11443
