In the BC insterstitial configuration the interstitial atom is located in between two next neighbored Si atoms forming linear bonds.
This is supported by the charge density isosurface and the Kohn-Sham levels in Fig. \ref{img:defects:bc_conf}.
The blue torus, which reinforces the assumption of the $p$ orbital, illustrates the resulting spin up electron density.
In addition, the energy level diagram shows a net amount of two spin up electrons.

\section{Migration of the carbon interstitial}
\label{subsection:100mig}
Since the \ci{} \hkl<1 0 0> DB is the most probable, hence, most important configuration, the migration of this defect atom from one site of the Si host lattice to a neighboring site is in the focus of investigation.

These findings allow to draw conclusions on the mechanisms involved in the process of SiC conversion in Si.
Agglomeration of C$_{\text{i}}$ is energetically favored and enabled by a low activation energy for migration.
