+The lattice constant of plain c-Si at $20\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ can be determined more accurately by the side lengthes of the simulation box of an equlibrated structure instead of using the radial distribution data.
+By this a value of $a_{\text{plain c-Si}}=5.439\text{ \AA}$ is obtained.
+The same lattice constant is assumed for the c-Si surrounding in the precipitate configuration $a_{\text{c-Si of precipitate configuration}}$ since peaks in the radial distribution match the ones of plain c-Si.
+Using $a_{\text{3C-SiC of precipitate configuration}}=4.34\text{ \AA}$ as observed from the radial distribution finally results in an increase of the initial volume by 0.12 \%.
+However, each side length and the total volume of the simulation box is increased by 0.20 \% and 0.61 \% respectively compared to plain c-Si at $20\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.
+Since the c-Si surrounding resides in an uncompressed state the excess increase must be attributed to relaxation of strain with the strain resulting from either the compressed precipitate or the 3C-SiC/c-Si interface region.
+This also explains the possibly identified slight increase of the c-Si lattice constant in the surrounding as mentioned earlier.
+As the pressure is set to zero the free energy is minimized with respect to the volume enabled by the Berendsen barostat algorithm.
+Apparently the minimized structure with respect to the volume is a configuration of a small compressively stressed precipitate and a large amount of slightly stretched c-Si in the surrounding.
