13. 2 molecule are used to calculate the formation energies.
14. In the present LDA calculations, the energy gap of α-quartz is about 6 eV, narrower than the experimental gap. The deep level position is thus of qualitative meaning, while the character of the level can be identified from analysis of its wavefunction.
15. Other (meta)stable configurations have not been found in the present geometry optimizations.
