The migration mechanism of a carbon \hkl<1 0 0> interstitial and silicon \hkl<1 1 0> self-interstitial in otherwise defect-free silicon using density functional theory calculations are investigated. @@ -47,6 +48,7 @@ The formation of structures involving strong carbon-carbon bonds turns out to be In contrast, substitutional carbon occurs in all probability. A long range capture radius has been observed for pairs of interstitial carbon as well as interstitial carbon and vacancies. A rather small capture radius is predicted for substitutional carbon and silicon self-interstitials. +% We derive conclusions on the precipitation mechanism of silicon carbide in bulk silicon and discuss conformability to experimental findings. % Furthermore, results of the accurate first-principles calculations on defects and carbon diffusion in silicon are compared to results of classical potential simulations revealing significant limitations of the latter method.
