Dear wien2k users,<br>I'm calculating a structure with a vacancy and I want to compare the formation energy of interstitial and replaced cases.<br>I was suggested to use the equations:<br><br>1.E(interstitial_formation)=E(inter)-E(bulk)-E(interstitial atom)
<br>2.E(relpace_formation)=E(replace) -E(bulk)+E(replaced bulk atom) -E(impurity atom)<br><br>But I'm not sure about this. Is those equations right? Thanks in advance.<br><br><br><br>Arin<br>
