Qualitative and quantitative differences exist. First of all, a different pathway is suggested as the lowest energy path, which again might be attributed to the absence of quantum-mechanical effects in the classical interaction model. Secondly, the activation energy is overestimated by a factor of 2.4 compared to the more accurate quantum-mechanical methods and experimental findings. @@ -274,7 +275,7 @@ Classical potentials, however, fail to describe the selected processes. This has been shown to have two reasons, i.e. the overestimated barrier of migration due to the artificial interaction cut-off on the one hand, and on the other hand the lack of quantum-mechanical effects which are crucial in the problem under study. % ref mod: language - being investigated %In order to get more insight on the SiC precipitation mechanism, further ab initio calculations are currently investigated. -In order to get more insight on the SiC precipitation mechanism, further ab initio calculations are currently being investigated. +In order to get more insight on the SiC precipitation mechanism, further ab initio calculations are currently being performed. % ---------------------------------------------------- \section*{Acknowledgment}
