This is nicely reproduced by the DFT calculations performed in this work.
It has turned out to be very difficult to capture the results of quantum-mechanical calculations in analytical potential models.
-Among the established analytical potentials only the EDIP \cite{bazant97,justo98} and Stillinger-Weber \cite{stillinger85} potential reproduce the correct order in energy of the defects.
+Among the established analytical potentials only the environment-dependent interatomic potential (EDIP) \cite{bazant97,justo98} and Stillinger-Weber \cite{stillinger85} potential reproduce the correct order in energy of the defects.
However, these potentials show shortcomings concerning the description of other physical properties and are unable to describe the C-C and C-Si interaction.
In fact the EA potential calculations favor the tetrahedral defect configuration.
This limitation is assumed to arise due to the cut-off.
