The theoretical description performed in this work is improved compared to a former study \cite{capaz94}, which underestimates the experimental value by 35 \%. In addition the bond-ceneterd configuration, for which spin polarized calculations are necessary, is found to be a real local minimum instead of a saddle point configuration. -\section{Combination of point defects} +\section{Combination of adjacent point defects} -The structural and energetic properties of combinations of point defects are investigated in the following. -The focus is on combinations of the \hkl<0 0 -1> dumbbell interstitial with a second defect. +The structural and energetic properties of combinations of point defects are examined in the following. +Investigations are restricted to quantum-mechanical calculations. + +\subsection[Combinations with a C-Si \hkl<1 0 0>-type interstitial]{\boldmath Combinations with a C-Si \hkl<1 0 0>-type interstitial} + +This section focuses on combinations of the \hkl<0 0 -1> dumbbell interstitial with a second defect.
