20. In our model, the dislocation core is aligned only along [110] direction. Therefore the strain-relaxed Ge layers in our model are uniaxially compressed along [1 1 ̄ 0] direction.
21. Segregation of large impurities in five- and seven-membered rings in Si is discussed in terms of local strains: T. Kaplan, F. Liu, M. Mostoller, M. F. Chisholm, and V. Milman, Phys. Rev. B 61, 1674 (2000). 10.1103/PhysRevB.61.1674
22. The energy difference can be written as Δ γ = γ Ge rl - γ Ge st, where γ Ge rl = μ Ge ′ / A and γ Ge st = μ Ge / A. The chemical potentials μ Ge and μ Ge ′ are the energies per atom in biaxially compressed and strain-relaxed Ge bulks, respectively, and A is the area in 2 of the lateral unit cell of the biaxially compressed ideal (001) face.

25. This feature is also observed in pairs of the edge dislocations in Si (Ref.).
