29. The formation energy is defined by Ef =E [Si217 As] -217 μSi - μAs, where E [Si217 As] is the total energy of As-interstitial complexes in the 216 atom supercell, μSi is the energy per atom (=E [Si216 /216]) in bulk Si, and μAs is the relative energy per substitutional As atom in defect-free bulk Si (=E [Si215 As] -215 μSi).
