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. These new bonds and the relaxation into the \cs{} configuration are responsible for the gain in configurational energy. For the reverse process approximately \unit[2.4]{eV} are needed, which is 24 times higher than the forward process. In the second case, the lowest barrier is found for the migration of Si number 1, which is substituted by the C$_{\text{i}}$ atom, towards the vacant site. -A net amount of five Si-Si and one Si-C bond are additionally formed during transition. +A net amount of five Si-Si bonds and one Si-C bond are additionally formed during transition.

However, the configuration does not account for the accompanying Si self-interstitial that is generated once a C atom occupies the site of a Si atom. With regard to the IBS process, in which highly energetic C atoms enter the Si target being able to kick out Si atoms from their lattice sites, such configurations are absolutely conceivable and a significant influence on the precipitation process might be attributed to them. -Thus, combinations of \cs{} and an additional \si{} are examined in the following. +Thus, combinations of \cs{} with an additional \si{} are examined in the following.
