+ What configuration to chose for C in Si simulations?
+ \begin{itemize}
+  \item Switch to another method for the XC approximation (GGA, PAW)?
+  \item Reasonable cut-off energy
+  \item Switch off symmetry? (especially for defect simulations)
+  \item $k$-points
+        (Monkhorst? $\Gamma$-point only if cell is large enough?)
+  \item Switch to tetrahedron method or Gaussian smearing ($\sigma$?)
+  \item Size and type of supercell
+        \begin{itemize}
+         \item connected to choice of $k$-point mesh?
+         \item hence also connected to choice of smearing method?
+         \item constraints can only be applied to the lattice vectors!
