+According to the formation energies none of the investigated structures is energetically preferred over the C-Si \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell interstitial, which exhibits a formation energy of 3.88 eV.
+Further separated defects are assumed to approximate the sum of the formation energies of the isolated single defects.
+This is affirmed by the plot of the binding energies with respect to the separation distance in figure \ref{fig:defects:csub_si110} approximating zero with increasing distance.
+Thus, the C-Si \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell structure remains the ground state configuration of a C interstitial in c-Si with a constant number of Si atoms.

+However the binding energy quickly drops to zero with respect of the distance indicating a possibly low interaction capture radius of the defect pair.
+Highly energetic collisions in the IBS process might result in separations of these defects exceeding the capture radius.
+For this reason situations most likely occur in which the configuration of substitutional C can be considered without a nearby interacting Si self-interstitial and, thus, unable to form a thermodynamically more stable C-Si \hkl<1 0 0> dumbbell configuration.
