22. This argument finds support in a previous study of H in silicon [C.G. Van de Walle, P.J.H. Denteneer, Y. Bar-Yam, and S.T. Pantelides, Phys. Rev. B 39, 10 791 (1989)], where it was shown that there exists almost degenerate minima which lie in a disk-shaped region centered at the BC site. The minima were found, in fact, slightly away from the BC position, however differing only a little in energy from the BC position.

24. We also compute, for comparison, the DOS for H at the (Formula presented) and BC sites. We find that H at the (Formula presented) site induces an electronic state 1.7 eV above the top of the valence band, while H on the BC site induces a state (Formula presented) above the middle of the energy gap. The relative positions of these levels resembles that computed for H in Si at these sites [C.G. Van de Walle, Y. Bar-Yam, and S.T. Pantelides, Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 2761 (1988)].
