29. The orientation is not relevant here, since our tests have clearly shown that a H2 molecule behaves as a free rotor in the HIPs, due to extremely small energy barriers for rotation. This is in agreement with previous calculations and M. Hiller, E.V. Lavrov, J. Weber, B. Hourahine, R. Jones, and P.R. Briddon, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 72, 153201 (2005). 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.153201
30. Our calculations indicated that the most stable configuration for H2 in bulk Ge is in the tetrahedral interstitial site in agreement with S.K. Estreicher, M.A. Roberson, and D.M. Maric, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 50, 17018 (1994). 10.1103/PhysRevB.50.17018
