 However, in the case of the VASP calculation, the dumbbell structure is pushed upwards compared to the Erhard/Albe results.
 This is easily identified by comparing the values for $a$ and $b$ and the two structures in figure \ref{fig:defects:100db_vis_cmp}.
 Thus, the angles of bonds of the silicon dumbbell atom ($\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$) are closer to $120^{\circ}$ signifying the predominance of $sp^2$ hybridization.

 This is supported by the image of the charge density isosurface in figure \ref{img:defects:charge_den_and_ksl}.
+The two lower Si atoms are $sp^3$ hybridised and form $\sigma$ bonds to the silicon dumbbell atom.
+The same is true for the upper two silicon atoms and the C dumbbell atom.
+In addition the dumbbell atoms form $\pi$ bonds.
+However, due to the increased electronegativity of the carbon atom the electron density is attracted by and thus localized around the carbon atom.
 In the same figure the Kohn-Sham levels are shown.

+In the bond-centerd insterstitial configuration the interstitial atom is located inbetween two next neighboured silicon atoms forming linear bonds.
+In former studies this configuration is found to be an intermediate saddle point configuration determining the migration barrier of one possibe migration path of a \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbel configuration into an equivalent one \cite{capaz94}.
+This is in agreement with results of the Erhard/Albe potential simulations which reveal this configuration to be unstable relaxing into the \hkl<1 1 0> configuration.
+However, this fact could not be reproduced by spin polarized VASP calculations performed in this work.
+Present results suggest this configuration to be a real local minimum.
+In fact, an additional barrier has to be passed to reach this configuration starting from the \hkl<1 0 0> interstitital configuration, which is investigated in section \ref{subsection:100mig}.
+The carbon atom has been displaced along the axes ... relaxation back ... indicating a real local minimum.
+Figure \ref{img:defects:bc_conf} shows the structure, the charge density isosurface and the Kohn-Sham levels of the bond-centered configuration.
+The linear bonds of the carbon atom to the two silicon atoms indicate the $sp$ hybridization of the carbon atom.
+Two electrons participate to the linear $\sigma$ bonds with the silicon neighbours.
+The other two electrons constitute the $2p^2$ orbitals resulting in a net magnetization.
+This is supported by the charge density isosurface and the Kohn-Sham levels in figure \ref{img:defects:bc_conf}.
+The blue torus, reinforcing the assumption of the p orbital, illsutrates the resulting spin up electron density.
+In addition, the energy level diagram shows a net amount of two spin up electrons.
