Throughout this work an energy cut-off of \unit[300]{eV} was used to expand the wave functions into the plane-wave basis.\r
Sampling of the Brillouin zone was restricted to the $\Gamma$-point.\r
The defect structures and the migration paths were modelled in cubic supercells containing $216\pm2$ Si atoms.\r
-The ions and cell shape are allowed to change in order to realize a constant pressure simulation.\r
+The ions and cell shape were allowed to change in order to realize a constant pressure simulation.\r
+Ionic relaxation was realized by the conjugate gradient algorithm.\r
Spin polarization has been fully accounted for.\r
\r
Migration and recombination pathways have been ivestigated utilizing the constraint conjugate gradient relaxation technique (CRT)\cite{kaukonen98}.\r
% also: plot energy all confs with respect to C-C distance\r
% maybe a pathway exists traversing low energy confs ?!?\r

+% point out that configurations along 110 were extended up to the 6th NN in that direction\r
The binding energies of the energetically most favorable configurations with the seocnd DB located along the $\langle 1 1 0\rangle$ direction and resulting C-C distances of the relaxed structures are summarized in Table~\ref{table:dc_110}.\r

The interaction is found to be proportional to the reciprocal cube of the C-C distance for extended separeations of the C$_{\text{i}}$ and saturates for the smallest possible separation, i.e. the ground state configuration.\r
