 After the initial configuration is constructed some of the atoms located at the 3C-SiC/c-Si interface show small distances, which results in high repulsive forces acting on the atoms.
 Thus, the system is equilibrated using strong coupling to the heat bath, which is set to be $20\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.

+Figure \ref{fig:md:pc_sic-prec} shows the radial distribution of the obtained configuration.
+Comparing the Si-Si radial distribution of plain c-Si with the one of the precipitate configuration no difference is observed for the distances of neighboured silicon pairs.
+Although no sifnificant change of the lattice constant of the c-Si matrix was assumed, surprisingly there is no change at all within observational accuracy.
+Nice, since obviously matrix is big enough to exclude size effects in the system in which pbc are applied, we can consider it single precipitate in a infinite Si matrix.
+A new peak for the silicon pairs arises at 0.307 nm.
+It is identical to the peak of the C-C distribution around that value.
+It corresponds to second next neighbours in 3C-SiC, which applies for Si as well as C pairs.
+The bumps of the Si-Si distribution at higher distances, which are marked by grey arrows and do not exist in plain c-Si, can be explained in the same manner.
+They correspond to the fourth and sixth next neighbour in 3C-SiC.
+Again, these peaks apply to Si and C pairs and indeed it is easily identifiale how the C-C peaks at contribute to the bumps observed in the Si-Si distribution.
